November Pictures 2014

Dian and I stayed in the lower mainland this month.  I had a chance to take a short cruise in the bay at Point Roberts with friend Art before he put his boat up for the winter.  This gave me the idea of perhaps renting a boat at Horseshoe Bay sometime and seeing what that area has to offer.  That is in the future but for now here is what November provided.

  I was happy to finally get an American Kestrel that wasn't sitting on a wire.

Sumas Prairie has been getting some nice birds such as this Franklin's Gull

Rusty Blackbirds are declining.  Sometimes they show up in large flocks of mixed blackbirds and Starlings as this one did in Sumas Prairie.

It was -8 and the wind was howling for these Trumpeter Swans

That's it for November.  Thanks for looking and don't forget to scroll down for the previous blog.
