The lighting was not great at Iona today, but I rarely see this species so was happy to get any photo record at all. The pair then took off and kept flying towards Vancouver Island.

One more photo from today, for identification and reference with wings up. It helped that this bird was almost at water level, and had to move quite a bit to avoid the waves. Iona, Richmond, BC.
