We were sitting by the lake watching the birds this morning when a serious ‘birder’ came by. He is participating in a program called Bird Atlas B.C., conducted by Bird Studies Canada which is mapping all the breeding grounds of B.C.’s birds. You are assigned a 100 kilometer square to map!
A new young eagle has showed up in the past few days and must be getting very hungry as he is swooping down from the tree he perches in, trying to grab a baby duck. Diane is running and hollering at him, shooing him away.
Here’s the Yellow Headed Blackbird and the Killdeer with the 2 black bands around his neck. If you double click on the pictures you can see the detail. We also saw a Canvasback Duck and Redhead Duck (with cinnamon head) which I'd not seen before.
