Sunrise in Boundary Bay

UPCOMING EVENTS January 2012

Check out the latest birds seen around Boundary Bay and the
Fraser River delta at Delta Naturalists' Society's Casual Birding
blog

Low temperatures and snow this month are keeping small birds
close to feeders and waterfowl in ditches and open water. Bald
Eagles are common and easily seen around Boundary Bay.
Short-eared Owls are flying in the daytime in salt marsh and old
grass field areas (e.g. Brunswick Point, 72 St) in locations similar
to the Snowy Owls. Common Redpolls, an irruptive winter visitor,
have been recorded from a number of locations in the delta,
including Deas Island.
