Thanks to some work being done by BC Hydro we were without power for several hours today which meant more time for walking…
It was supposed to be a sunny, clear day today but we’ve had high cloud hanging around, making for an interesting sky. While in this area, I could hear Coyote’s yipping out on the flats…couldn’t spot any. There are a lot of coyote in this area but we don’t normally hear them during the day – unless a siren goes by!
There were normal numbers of the normal birds you’d expect to see this time of the year…
A Spotted Towhee was about the only one co-operative enough for a picture.
heading for home I spotted something off in the distance…
a couple of Killdeer – barely visible in this picture…. Killdeer are the easiest shorebird to recognize as they are the only one to have a double black neck band..
Just because today’s pictures are a bit pitiful, I’ll throw in this file photo of a Killdeer – this one taken at Tunkwa Lake Provincial Park.
Two other items of note for the day….a large flock (at least 30) of Evening Grosbeaks settled into a tree top briefly, and about 6 Crows were flying over mid-day…I’ve mentioned before about the large amount of crows that fly over late in the afternoon…we don’t often see them during the day.
