Cedar Waxwing--we had a flock of at least 20 raid the berry tree in our backyard on Sunday, February 1.

No rufous undertail coverts-

[Gord]

Jeff, Cedar Waxwings in the winter are (a debatable comment) almost more exciting than Bohemian Waxwings! ;D Certainly a tough species to find in the winter. Nice work.

Bruce and Joanne, nice work on the Pine Grosbeaks!

Two American Kestrels along the freeway near Chilliwack.

Pls add a Turkey Vulture seen Feb 14th at the entrance to the parking lot the Cheam Wetlands.

[Chris]

Don't see it here but add Common Raven

[Gord]

Neepgrin, great sighting on the Turkey Vulture! I know they start to arrive around now in small numbers on the Island but might be among the earliest for our area. Mind you, could be one that over wintered. They do that now and then and one was seen in east Chilliwack late December.

Bundy, thanks for the sharp eye. Sometimes the common ones get overlooked.

From the backyard count I added a Saw-whet Owl I found, as well as Screech Owl and Great Horned Owl from an unexpected owling night I did while I waited for cold medicine (not the "Dont Operate Heavy Machinery kind...) to kick in.

Also saw California Gull on Saturday being chased by a crow. Seems the gull had something in its beak that the crow wanted.
