 Migrating Pacific Brant along a local beach      As the rain fell today on yesterdays snow, the birds came out in droves! Hungry creatures and this colourful Varied Thrush is generally very shy, but today they let me take photos!   One of the last of a handful of British transplants to Vancouver Island in the 1940's. This Skylark was found today by avid birder Jody Wells .. Thanks Jody for the tip and the ID .. I would not have known this one to be a rare bird.. Jody knows his birds!!!    Savannah Sparrow ,,, Here is another one I learned today .. Relatively common small Sparrow. |
