Salish Pond Visit

[Bentley]

Went out to Salish Pond to test out my new Canon 5d Mark III. Great lighting today! Couple Lesser Scaups and Ring-necked Ducks. Witnessed Rock Pigeon copopulation, spring is almost here.

Ran into Dave B there. He said he found a Varied Thrush shortly before we ran into each other. I was able to get eyes on the bird, female in nice plumage. First eBird report of the species here. On my way out I stumbled upon a Downy Woodpecker, got some record shots, Salish Pond's second record.

You got a good camera Bentley. I had a Canon 5D MKIII for 5 years. Just sold it in October.
