More Herons

 

McDonald Park, Abbotsford

 This small heronry has been receiving attention lately from the male's providing branches to fortify their nests.

 As I was standing close to the picnic area a chickadee was hoping for a handout.

 

Male Canvasback at GBH Reserve

 

Paradise Park, Sardis

During my neighborhood walk this morning I was fortunate to come across these two young accipiters calling for their parents. I would not have known they were there if they had not called as they were so high up. Look like possible Sharp-shins, more likely Cooper's.( This is Manual Park but Google maps show it as Paradise?)

Back at the Heron Reserve

Back at my favourite local birding patch a month after seeing the chickadee's preparing a nesting cavity they are now feeding young.

 Further down the trail a Song Sparrow and Warbling Vireo's were singing

On the Selwein Loop a group of Turkey Vultures dropped in for a rest on the dead snags.
