Vancouver, BC
This bird has been at a feeder in Vancouver since early December. I saw it back then but was not able to get a photo. The owner of the property has cut back some of the blackberries so that the feeder is more visible.

Another rare bird alert and another lifer. At one point it was harassed and chased by a Peregrine, but returned to its perch.

I would not normally post such a poor quality image, but this is a first in Canada. I will attempt to get back and get a better image. You can see it at this link:

A return to the park under better lighting produced this shot. The head on this bird was quite a bit rustire than the others.
