Sunday Bird Walk, August 13, 2017
The Sunday bird walk went to Neck Point Park in Nanaimo. The morning was cloudy with strong winds—AND no smoke! A Marbled Murrelet, a Pigeon Guillemot,
a Brandt’s Cormorant and a large number of Double-crested Cormorants and
Pelagic Cormorants were seen offshore on the Strait of Georgia. We watched a Bewick's Wren preening itself on a tree not far from the trail. A Cooper’s Hawk flew overhead at the end of the walk.
Fifteen birders saw and heard the following twenty-three species:
Canada Geese,
Marbled Murrelet
Pigeon Guillemot
Brandt’s Cormorant
Double-crested Cormorant,
Pelagic Cormorant
Bald Eagle
Cooper’s Hawk
Turkey Vulture
Great Blue Heron
Heermann’s Gull

Glaucous-winged Gull
Common Raven
Northwestern Crow
Northern Flicker
Anna’s Hummingbird
Chestnut-backed Chickadee,
Red-breasted Nuthatch

The Tuesday Birdwalks will resume on September 5, 2017.
