We got up early today to try for the reported Summer Tanager in Marpole. ( bcbirdalert.blogspot.ca )  Thanks to those already there, we got great looks. Then it was off to see if we could find some Owls. We ended up with 3;-Snowy Owl, Long-eared Owl and Short-eared Owl. The Snowy was just a speck in the distance and not visible without binoculars.

We were probably at both places that day too. We saw the tanager around 11 and then went owling at Boundary Bay. We only came up with short eared owls, so I guess we weren't looking in the right place for the Snowy.
