It was still fairly windy when I left home for my walk this afternoon, but no where near like the gusts we were getting last night and this morning. On arriving at Boundary Bay the breeze had pretty much subsided and it was quite pleasant. So while the conditions were great, once again it was fairly uneventful on the birding front.
There were a pair of Pectoral Sandpipers,
… accompanied by a Least Sandpiper.
They eventually hunkered down together for a rest.
There were still several American Pipits around the pilings and along the shoreline. The odd man out this afternoon,
… was this pumpkin way out on the tidal flats. Not sure how it got there, perhaps an omen Halloween is on its way.
