Managing this kind of thing (and maybe being a bit over-the-top about it) helps to keep me sane during this crazy time. |

Northern Pygmy Owl, Our yard in Hope. At dusk I was refilling the feeders and had a small owl fly past my reach assist as I was placing a feeder. It perched 10 feet off the ground between the feeders.

It’s funny how often I find myself birding unexpectedly as I go through daily life. I heard, then saw, a small flock of American pipits fly over as I was walking out of Fraser Valley Meats today.

There was a beautiful tan-striped White-throated sparrow under the feeder at GBHR today.
I also saw snipes for the first time in quite a few years. I know they’re not that uncommon, but I just haven’t run into one recently.

I had a lone Mourning dove on Keith Wilson near the bridge today. That's another species I haven't seen around here in a few years!

I had a lone Mourning dove on Keith Wilson near the bridge today. That's another species I haven't seen around here in a few years! I agree, they're pretty hard to come by. Can anyone comment on how common they were prior to the arrival of Eurasian collared-doves? I've only been in BC since 2011 so can't comment on this. |

Denis gave me his bird records (I'm slowly preparing them for ebird), and he has quite a few from the early 90s through the early 2000s in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Skagit Valley (including nesting records at Cheam Lake). There are fewer ebird records from the time before ebird, so I'm not sure how reliable it would be for tracking older records. His first ECDO record in the Fraser Valley is from 2009. |
