Beautiful shot ... nice work everyone else, too! We are slowly making our way up the list!

Wow 3 weeks with no birds... those summer doldrums.

Got a couple more this weekend in Delta.

Sanderling (with Western Sandpipers):


Black Phoebe:


The next few weeks should be better!

I saw a couple of Bank Swallows today in Richmond:

Those are awesome Zach! I've been out of the country for the last two weeks, so I couldn't count any birds I saw in Texas and Colorado. haha. I'm ready to get a few Fall birds myself! Nice work!

I finally made it up to Salmon Arm ... so I've got the Western Grebe!







Although I spent about 2 hours looking ... no luck on Clark's Grebe ...

Here we are, Zach, at the magical 250 birds! As you mentioned in a previous post, now the real challenge begins! haha. Here's the link to the list:

I thought I had 251 yesterday, but Merlin told me the photo I took was actually a female Ring-tailed Pheasant ... I could've sworn it was a "sharp-tailed grouse." Of course, I WAS squinting my eyes as I looked at it.



p.s. -- I updated the list so that "Turnstones" are in the Shorebird category.

Nice work James!

So we need 50 more in 4 months... someone needs to do a pelagic tour.

Thank you ... haha. Don't tempt me!
(p.s. I'll be in your area in a couple of weeks if you are interested in showing me the Delta!)

Oh yeah I’d be happy to show you Boundary Bay if the weather works out! It will be a good time of year for shore birding, but any visit there always needs to be timed to the tide schedule. Where are you staying?

lol. You'd think for a computer guy i'd get that right ... haha. Yes. Either hotmail or gmail will work. Prefer Hotmail.
so ... stumblingpiper at hotmail dot com.

I saw a Green Heron yesterday, but the @#$# ran away as I was fumbling to get my camera ready.

But here's one that cooperated for me this morning at Boundary Bay, a Buff-breasted Sandpiper:

I saw this today as well, in Richmond. A Wandering Tattler.
