Hello everyone! New to the site (recently moved to BC) and looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful photos and following your posts ...

Here's a challenge ... would like to see if we can get a (current, 2019) picture of as many BC birds as possible. I'll start with a Townsend's Solitaire. Feel free to add your pics to this topic. Hopefully we can avoid duplicates but maybe down the line we'll have trouble keeping track? haha.
(Of course, if you've already done this once and I'm late to the show just let me know! :lol: )

Just east of the Lonsdale Quay is a breeding colony of Pigeon Guillemot.

I counted 16 of them which is a new record!
