Today’s highlights: there’s an Eurasian Wigeon at Hastings Park, a single Snow Goose still hangs out with the Canada Geese at the Racecourse track, and 11 Oystercatchers on the rocks at Second beach, Stanley Park.

Yesterday I became the BC Bird Alert regional coordinator for the Vancouver and Lower Mainland area. The birds below will never make the cut, but they were the only ones who consented to have their picture taken.
