This little one was looking for suet but had to wait his turn until the Flicker was done. Delta, BC.

This species is funny to watch. He sticks out like a sore thumb, but is quite shy and often just sits for awhile watching other birds feed. Delta, BC

Constance Bay - A few Black-backs venture south of their boreal habitat in winter but they remain a rare visitor. They are usually found in forests with red or jack pine and work on dead or dying trees. I have seen a few and heard more over the years but never had a chance to get decent photos. This bird took hours to track down but in the end I got plenty of good shots. However, getting the forehead patch of the male to show was extremely challenging. If you don't see it, the bird looks like a female.

Great Gray Owl (74)
Jan 7 2021
Williamsburg - We are hoping that this will be a flight year for our largest owl. The normal irruption cycle is every four years with them occasionally showing up every fifth year. This is the fifth year so we have our fingers crossed for a good show in January. This photo was the only bird seen in the entire region last winter.
