Birding in BC Community

I found these Surfbirds mixed in with the regular crew of plovers and turnstones at Adams Park in Campbell River today.I don,t think i have seen them here before.untitled (152 of 155) by Garry Graham, on Flickruntitled (101 of 155) by Garry Graham, on Flickr

the bird looks a little surprised to be there himself!
just checked the Preliminary results for our Christmas bird count Dec 16_2017, the area extending from Albert Head to Saanichton and all of Greater Victoria-not one Surfbird found! (previous years had to a high of 67). You must have the only one on the Island. great shots and nice find Garry.

I was at Neck Point, in Nanaimo this afternoon, and there was a flock of
2 - 3 dozen there.
