Black Oystercatchers at Blue Heron Beach, Vancouver Island. These oystercatchers are used to people walking down the beach, so I could get quite close.

Male Red-Breasted Merganser at Jack Point, Nanaimo. It is looking for fish, but seems to be looking for danger also. Lots of birds at Jack Point this day, including about 40 Mallards a few hundred meters out. I think because the lakes are still frozen.

Greater Scaup at Parksville Community Park.
I was lucky to get these scaup landing, then walked down the beach to get a closer shot. As always, not really close enough.

Red-Breasted Sapsucker. A rare visitor to our yard. Male and Female are identical, so counts as both?

Gadwall with Ring-Necked Ducks in Hemer Park, Nanaimo.
The ducks always go to the middle of the lake when someone is near. Finally, I had the patience to wait behind some reeds.

Hooded Mergansers at Long Lake near Ladysmith.
A pity the camera mike didn't pick up the sounds.

Brandt Geese at Rathtrevor Beach, Parksville, Vancouver Island.
First they are feeding, then becoming alarmed at people walking directly towards them. The last scene, unfortunately, is of them flying off down the beach after some walkers got very close.

Golden-Crowned Sparrows at Buttertubs Marsh.
The Ruby-Crowned Kinglets would not stay still, but these sparrows were much more cooperative. It looks like someone was feeding them.
