Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

Being out of my element in Vancouver, I could not 100% identify this bird. Although my guess is a Swamp Sparrow, Natl Geographic field guide says it's rare out west. My next guess would have been Lincoln's Sparrow. Any ideas?

A congregation of several shorebirds foraging at the St-Lazare sands: Killdeer (left), Semipalmated Sandpiper (middle left), Pectoral Sandpiper (middle right) and Lesser Yellowlegs. Unfortunately the Greater Yellowlegs and Semipalmated Plover were not closer enough for the group shot! Can be enlarged by clicking photo twice.
