A Bay Day

Headed out to a couple of different spots in Boundary Bay this afternoon. First stop was in Tsawwassen to check again for the reported Mountain Bluebird. No sign of it, but there were lots of Savannah Sparrows around.

So I spent a little time with them.

Then it was off to Ladner and the bay area at the foot of 72 St.

There were a few Short-eared Owls up and about hunting the marsh. Just not the photo opportunities like the other week.

This one taking a break to surveil the marsh from the high ground, so to speak.

And to finish the afternoon,
