Saw my first turkey vultures today out on Interprovincial Hwy in Abbotsford. There were 4 of them in a field feeding on something.
Later in the afternoon Jamie and I went to check on Sardis Pond's birds and playground. There was a single greater white-fronted goose there and 4 bushtits building a nest on one of the properties. Those were the highlights of our short visit. The rest we saw were as follows:
Greater White-fronted Goose 1
Canada Goose 20
American Wigeon 20
Mallard 45
Northern Shoveler 2
Green-winged Teal 1
Ring-necked Duck 6
Lesser Scaup 12
Bufflehead 3
Common Merganser 1
American Coot 30
Glaucous-winged Gull 1
Downy Woodpecker 1
Northwestern Crow 3
Bushtit 4
American Robin 3
Song Sparrow 1
Red-winged Blackbird 2
House Finch 4
Pine Siskin 8
House Sparrow 2
