While out doing some cutthroat brood capture for the hatchery on Friday I took a break to do a little birding. ;D On Seabird Island I saw 3 fields just full of swans, must have been over 200. I filmed them with the video camera and will review as I panned it with the idea of getting a proper count later.
Last night on Hopedale Road, just South of South Sumas also got some nice footage of another large flock. As it was near dusk I got a lot of talking from them as they prepared to head to their night roosting area, on the Fraser River I believe. Then I was able to get more footage as they took off, including getting a picturesque few frames of a family of 5 that swung overhead with Mt. Cheam and Lady Peak as a backdrop.
I will report the exact number I saw at a later date, when I have time to review the whole footage.
