Short Eared Owl
These birds were effective hunters but were also tormented by the bald eagles and the harrier.
Species: Asio flammeus (Short-eared Owl)

Ruby Crowned Kinglet
Apparently this bird normally spends time in the trees (there aren't very many in Boundary Bay) so seeing the Ruby flash on the top of the head isn't so common.
Species: Regulus calendula (Ruby-crowned Kinglet)

Ruby Crowned In The Frost
Bad photo of the bird, but it gives you a sense of how much frost was there.

American Dipper
Normally I would call this a "small brown jobby" but because it was so close to the water and a little larger than a sparrow, I figured it was probably an American Dipper. When I got home I looked it up and sure enough!

Male Common Merganser
This bird was fishing (diving) off the light house. I didn't see it come up with a fish in it's mouth - maybe it was after something smaller.
Species: Mergus merganser (Common Merganser)

Female Common Goldeneye
Females certainly are more ambiguous than males.
Species: Bucephala clangula (Common Goldeneye)

Male Bufflehead In Sunset Light
It's funny how much more detail you get in post than when you are looking with your own eyes. The eye is almost invisible in daylight.
Species: Bucephala albeola (Bufflehead)

Belted_Kingfisher
This is a three image composite (in photoshop). I don't own a long lens so this is the best I can do.

Black Eared Kite
There were lots of large predators flying around the shores in Sai Kung. I believe I saw an Osprey at a long distance. The Black-eared Kites were by far the most common - later in the day I saw at least 10 from our position on the boat.
Species: Milvus migrans lineatus (black-eared kite)

Black Eared Kite Turning
I really wasn't expecting to take photos of this bird - that is why the exposure is so off. I was walking in the area (actually taking photos of butterflies) and the bird flew - much further away than a bird in Vancouver does. I shot with what was set. Shooting a dark bird against an overcast sky is always a poor idea.
Species: Milvus migrans lineatus (black-eared kite)

Black Face Spoonbill
Everybody is excited about this bird because there is only a few thousand of them left in the world and only a few hundred come to Hong Kong. There was a flock of about 30 of them in a larger pond and a few individuals wading.
Species: Platalea minor (Black-faced Spoonbill)

Red Turtle Dove In Palm Tree
There were a few doves around the resort - mostly in the palm trees. They seemed to be nesting, but I couldn't get a good angle to verify that.
