Trinity Western Campus - Sept 18, 2011

[Randy]

I was going to do some work this morning but got bored very quickly, so once the rain stopped I drove to Trinity Western to check out the area. It was fairly quiet but a nice walk nonetheless. The lighting wasn't great for photography but I got a couple good pics. The highlight was a couple western tanagers.

Here's my list:


Wood Duck 2
Mallard 12
Great Blue Heron 1
Glaucous-winged Gull 1
Belted Kingfisher 2
Downy Woodpecker 1
Northern Flicker 2
Northwestern Crow 10
Common Raven 2
Black-capped Chickadee 15
Chestnut-backed Chickadee 5
Bushtit 6
Brown Creeper 1
American Robin 6
European Starling 8
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Song Sparrow 6
Western Tanager 2
House Finch 6

Downy Woodpecker:



At my place not too much happening either. The canvasback is still on Brydon Lagoon. The yellowlegs and dowitchers that were on the marsh weren't there today - I'm guessing because it has filled significantly due to the recent rains. House finches are eating me out of house and home though:

Thanks for the report Randy.

I love the shot of the Downy in the Dogwood (I'm 98% sure its a dogwood).

You're right Chris, it's a Red Osier Dogwood. And I agree, the Downy pics are great.
