Birding in BC Community

I can’t see Dennis’ pictures either so he must have deleted them. Here’s another Gadwall pair.

I’ll add this American Robin too - taken in the back yard during the heat wave. I thought I had a couple of others too but they’re not from this year.

Here is a Northern Mockingbird:

Nice ones, Judy and Zach! Here's a Killdeer to replace Dennis' missing picture ... maybe he'll get on and see they are missing! That Mockingbird picture is gorgeous, Zach.

For some reason, we have a few bird pictures not showing up ... however, with a couple of replacement pictures (thanks Zach and Judy) ... we are back up to 270 birds for the year! Wow! Here's a link to the "missing" birds (seen in previous years or this year but not showing up) ...

Awesome work so far this year! We've got one more month to bump our total up a little ... I think our biggest year so far was 273 ... so we are really close to that!
Happy Bird-looking,

Pigeon Guillemot at Roberts Memorial Park near Nanaimo. I took this photo on 28 Oct and just noticed it is missing from the list. I will see if I can find some more.

Mew Gull, Columbia Beach, Vancouver Island, Oct 19. My first visit to Columbia Beach. A wonderful place.

Sorry, I misread the list. I thought it was odd that Pidgeon Guillemot and Mew Gull were not there.

Bill -- you read correctly -- we had those pictures previously (from Dennis), but they disappeared -- so your pictures are a nice add ... and excellent pictures too! lol.

We are now up to 272! :0)

Here is the (short) list of birds we had pictures of but don't now ...
8 missing bird pics from KenW:
Falcon, Gyrfalcon, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Ovenbird, Northern Pygmy Owl, White-tailed Ptarmigan, Swamp Sparrow, Palm Warbler, Acorn Woodpecker.
7 missing bird pics form DennisM39:
Ancient Murrelet, Common Murre, Marbled Murrelet, Marsh Wren, Olympic Gull, Sora, Virginia Rail

Here is a link to a list of all the birds NOT YET POSTED.

Sorry for any confusion on missing birds ...

I have a backup Marsh Wren from earlier in the year:


And a Northern Saw-whet Owl:

Red-naped Sapsucker (I think?):

Virginia Rail:

Olympic Gull at Blue Heron Beach, Nov 17. I think this is Olympic Gull rather than Glaucous-Winged x Herring Gull based on heavy bill and lighter grey of primaries, but I could be wrong.

I posted Northern Pygmy Owl 10 months ago.

Here's a Gyrfalcon from back in January.

Hi "HicHic." I looked through the post and don't see an image from 2021 for a Northern Pygmy Owl. If you have it available, please re-post it!
