I have been holding off posting for a few days as I wanted to start off another month with something new. As this is a photo blog, a picture is usually a good idea. The bird in question is a Chestnut-sided Warbler. As is the norm more often than not with bird photography, it may take more than one attempt. While I saw the bird on my first visit,

… it was not until this afternoon it came down low and close enough.

The Chestnut-sided Warbler is not usually seen west of Alberta,

… and is a rare visitor to British Columbia and the Lower Mainland area.

This particular bird has been in the Camosun Bog area of Pacific Spirit Park in Vancouver for about a week now.

It has been providing great views for local birders and photographers. So, with a little patience, I get to start off another month with a new addition to the photo list.
