Common Yellowthroat
This little guy had a really nice song and was flying along the length of the ditch. He (this is a male) mostly hid in the brambles but did sometimes come out. I used to think that all small birds were "little brown jobbies". Not so much anymore. Species: Geothlypis trichas (Common Yellowthroat)

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)
