It was a nice day to get out and we stopped by Harrison Lake for a visit.
Like Chris's report, there were not a lot of smaller birds about. We saw a Western Meadowlark early on when it flew up from the grass but we couldn't find it after. A young Horned Lark more than made up for the quietness.
Benny set up for photos. And it came towards him

What a cool experience for him. He got some great photos of it as well that he wanted to share.

Out on the water we didn't spot the Pacific Loon but saw a small gull-shaped bird on the water. Presently it flew and divulged its identity as an adult Common Tern. A lifer for Benny and a good one for the Fraser Valley.
