This afternoons walk was to Boundary Bay. The photo opportunities started before I even parked at the foot of 72 St.<\/p>\n

A Rough-legged Hawk was in a tree next to the road. This shot was taken out of the car window. After parking I noted it was still there and started walking back that way, but it moved off before I got there.<\/p>\n

There were even a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets among them.<\/p>\n

There were also a few Short-eared Owls active over the marsh.<\/p>\n
