Willband Nov 26

[Chris]

Randy and I did a walk at Willband this morning. On the drive out to meet him, I did a quick detour through Sumas Prairie.

Spotted this Peregrine having breakfast. Any idea what it's eating?

Did a short walk along McDermott. This Fox Sparrow was somewhat cooperative.

On Angus Campbell north of Vye Rd there is a nice patch of good sparrow habitat. Saw one Savannah Sparrow. Might be a good area for American Tree Sparrow.

Willband was fairly active. Not Bittern but we did get the Swamp Sparrow and a Marsh Wren. Good numbers of waterfowl as well.

Chris, I can't place the bird the falcon has caught. Almost looks like shorebird legs?

[Ben]

Chicken perhaps? (Those feet look a lot like what I sometimes see on the street here in Thailand ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
Great photos by the way
