 Brewers Blackbirds which are quite a numerous resident around farms and ponds in N Saanich gather here on a wire in a flock of hundreds.. Here are 7, shot just about sunset.  I must admit that I am unsure if this group of birds are Lessor Yellowlegs, but if not could someone please send me a note with an ID. These images were shot well after sunset at a slow shutter speed and high ISO, but felt they are such lovely long legged creatures and worthy to post. They feed in shallow ponds on quite a variety of insect species. This is yet another bird that is migrating South to various places as far as South America. Birds are incredible!    Its almost dark and the Canada Geese are still out feeding on grass  A different prospective looking from the North at the Osprey perch tree and others that live beside the pond  Late evening flight of Canada Geese heading towards Pat Bay
