This afternoons walk was to Brunswick Point where a Tropical Kingbird had been spotted yesterday. As I started off my walk, I paused briefly to watch some sparrows.
While doing so I got this Song Sparrow in a puddle at the end of taking a bath. Not long after this I came across a couple of other birders watching the Kingbird. Waiting for it to come out more into the open,
… another Song Sparrow stopped and posed nicely nearby.
Then it was time to focus on the Tropical Kingbird again.
It was busy catching dragonflies,
… and would then rest briefly before venturing out for another one.
The Tropical Kingbird is a rare bird for this area, but can usually be seen each fall in the lower mainland area. This bird provided some great viewing and photo opportunities.
