Birding in BC Community

You lower mainland folks have been enjoying the BN stilt in White Rock. Here are a few from a few weeks ago when they were numerous in certain spots around Edmonton while on migration.

Nice pictures. I really like the third one, the bird contrasts well with the brownish water.

Nice photos as usual. Interestingly, the BN Stilt at White Rock seemed to be drinking salt water. I wonder if it is behaving badly, as there is a river outflow into the ocean a half km away.

I'm still feeling a little jealous of that tree photo with a couple of hundred Bohemian Waxwings in it. And I've yet to see a Canada Warbler or a Blue Jay (one is in the area, apparently).

I think the berries are ripening early in these parts. I'm not certain how that will impact the Winter migrants. Not too many Cedar Waxwings about, though.

Good to see you back, Willy! It's been quite some time.

Great shots.

I'll post some Blue Jays for you soon, Mike. The Bohemians, well they won't be here for a few more months.
