Ruffed Grouse at my folk's place in Agassiz on Sunday, and lots of Bald Eagles and Am. Widgeons around our place by the river.
As reported by Jason, at Corner of Tuyttens Rd. and Mountainview in Agassiz, masses of Gulls. Most GWs with some hybrids, unknowns and I'm pretty sure - Mew Gulls.
Out in Harrison Greater & Lesser Scaups, Common Loon and Am. Coots and a little Winter Wren.

All seen in or near our yard in the last two days. I saw the Snow Geese fly over when I was walking, about three houses down the street, so can't count them for my yard list, unfortunately.

This morning's walk produced six sparrow species. Two of which I believe, haven't been reported yet:
- Lincoln's
- Savannah

Murray

Murray, both good November species!

Ed, where did you see the Dunlin and how many? A good sighting for the area.

Butterfly, great find on the Mountain Chickadee! Certainly a rarity for the valley floor.

There were several Western Grebes at Island 22 today. A Greater White-fronted Goose was among the Canada and Cackling Geese at Cheam Lake.

I have a Rough-legged Hawk, a dark phase, from South Parallel Rd and Dixon Rd where it spent most of last winter too. Im assuming it's the same bird as what are the odds that a more rare dark phase would come to the same spot.

[Bruce Joanne]

Wow! Beautiful Hawk Gord!

[murraybrown]

Gord, those are super photos.
Several years ago there was a bird virtually identical to the one you show, in Delta. It wintered in the same spot along 64th street near Boundary Bay, for at least five years. I find raptors and even Northern Shrikes, can show great site fidelity for many years.
It can be tough for a bird to find a safe spot with a reliable food source in the dead of winter.
I suppose it's a case of the devil you know vs. the devil you don't!

Hey Gord
The Dunlin(about 12-13) went flying by me at speed across Marion Rd, from west to east(sorry I've forgottwen the name of the intersecting road). Nice pics of the Rough-legged Hawk. This bird I've seen for about 4 years now in the same area. Right next to a greenhouse on the hedging cedar trees, if indeed it is the same bird!? It seems fairly calm and doesn't flush that easily.
