Deb and Tony went and looked just a few minutes ago and did not spot it. Len is also there and reports no luck. It may have moved on. Or, it could be out of sight somewhere nearby like the last one in 2011 that hung out on private property. Mind you, that bird was sick which likely reduced its mobility. This bird, however, is clearly very healthy! Hope it gets to its breeding grounds and finds a mate. Yes, no Loggerhead today but there was a Snow Goose in the chain link enclosure by the airport terminal. It didn't look very healthy. Nice meeting you Deb and Tony. |

No sightings today either. The Northern Shrike and the Kestrels are gone as well. The nice weather Sunday may have prompted the mass exodus which included the Loggerhead. Len, checked for the goose but it was not there. I wonder what happened for it to wind up there.

Thanks to them, I started my membership with Fraser Valley Birding. It was a real pleasure to meet wonderful people and good birders like Deb and Tony! Thank you so much for introducing us the Cheam wetland which should not be a stop, but a destination for the next time. There was an Osprey chasing a Bald Eagle over the Lake that evening. Look forward to seeing you again! |

The male Kestrel was still around yesterday Apr 9. Didn't see the female but you can bet she is still around also!
