Added in addition to the ones mentioned: Turkey Vulture from Chilliwack American Tree Sparrows (Island 22 and Sumas Prairie) Swamp Sparrow (Chilliwack) Greater Scaup, Horned Grebe and Yellow-rumped Warbler (Harrison) Hutton's Vireo (Chilliwack and Agassiz)

Can add from Common Loon from Kilby. Also had 41 Canvasback there. Kilby seems to be a fairly reliable spot for Canvasbacks.

We had a Red-breasted Sapsucker visit our back yard a week ago in East Popkum.

Thanks all. We're up to 98 species.
Mike and Trudy, nice report of the sapsucker. Last few winters they've not been a common.
I also added today's Sandhill Crane and Brown-headed Cowbird, Eurasian Wigeon, Barrow's Goldeneye and Purple Finch from my notebook.

I saw an American Dipper today - fun to get before year end. In small creek at end of Tolmie Road.

I noticed that Varied Thrush were not on the list. We have a pair visiting daily. We had more overwintering in previous years.

My apologies if I posted twice - don’t recall doing that. I spotted this pretty lady on the new leg of the Discovery Trail at Willband Creek Park - a short jog up the incline and at the small landing overlooking the marsh.

We were out there today in that very spot but we didn't have your luck.
