This afternoon’s walk was to Brunswick Point which is one of my favourite spots to try and get Northern Shrike at this time of year. On starting the stroll out the dyke my attention was drawn to the river.
There was a Horned Grebe active near the old cannery pilings,
… along with a Double-crested Cormorant fishing close to the river bank.
The mouth of the river can be a good spot to get a variety of sea birds.
While I did not see any Shrikes, the usual Northern Harriers and Short-eared Owls were active over the marsh.
