Harrier On Fence Post
This bird (a Juvenile Harrier) wound up very close to the foot path - people were walking by with the dogs and noisy children so it didn't take long before the bird moved on. Species: Circus cyaneus (Northern Harrier)

Nara Eating Yogurt On My Backpack
Yogurt is actually a pretty dumb snack for the cold - it makes your hands colder so while the little girl is no longer hungry, she is now cold. Tags: Boundary Bay

Great Blue Heron In The Frost
These are farm fields - for some reason, there are a lot of rodents out there. This looks like a Juvenile - strong two tone orange and dark beak, and very little stripe on the top of the head. Species: Ardea herodias (Great Blue Heron)

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)

Song Sparrow On Snag
I like the lichen on the snag more than the bird - I'm hoping the sum is greater than the parts. Tags: Boundary Bay

American Robin Eating Hawthorn
Sad - American Robin is a "lifer". Of course I have seen this bird a billion times - I just haven't bothered to take a photo. Now that I look - really look - at the bird, there are lots of interesting features. This is the first time I have seen this camera display Moiré. Species: Turdus migratorius (American Robin)

Golden Eagle
Obviously not an inspiring photo - I'm just putting a bird on a life list. My bad. Given what I see of the tail, this looks like a juvenile, but there isn't enough to tell. Tags: Boundary Bay
