Not having had any luck the other day photographing the American Tree Sparrow, I made my way back out to Boundary Bay when I had the chance later this afternoon. Nesting in the northern parts of the country, the American Tree Sparrow is a regular winter migrant seen in this area.
While the opportunities were not much better today,
… this particular bird did provide a chance for a couple of distant shots. I had initially thought the only other birds the American Tree Sparrows were hanging around with were some White-crowned & Song Sparrows. But something else caught my eye,
… this Lincoln’s Sparrow was also mixed in with the group.
Of course being in this part of Boundary Bay it would have been hard not to leave without at least a couple more shots of the Snowy Owls.
Once again there were good numbers of the owls in close to the dyke,
… more than willing to pose for all the onlookers.
