November 22nd to 25th 2016
We have walked in rain, fog and sun over the last few days at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve in Chilliwack, B.C., Canada. Each day was enjoyable in one way or another.
The East Bird Blind was almost invisible on the 23rd.
Beavers were seen on a few days.
Bufflehead are usually seen, one decided to stand on a log in the fog on the 23rd.
A tiny Cackling Goose was at the edge of the water.
Golden-crowned Sparrows were seen every day.
A Great Blue Heron was still watching salmon spawning in the Salwein Creek while a few others were gathered in trees near the East Bird Blind.
A male Belted Kingfisher was seen fishing in the fog on the 23rd.
The mountains in the distance were pretty dusted in snow.
An American Robin put in an appearance.
Song Sparrows were seen every day.
Spotted Towhees were seen in a few areas.
American Wigeon were seen as usual.
Wood Ducks were seen as usual.
Mallards were seen every day.
Over a dozen Green-winged Teal were viewed from the East Bird Blind. They were still there when we left.
