There were quite a mix of birds to be seen in our trip to Vancouver Island. Bald eagles are thriving and common as crows over there. We typically saw them on the roadside every few kilometers and they were clustered around a fishmeal plant near Telegraph Cove. This particular individual was called down out of a tree by our friend Roger's neighbor with the promise of turkey necks. I did get the whole bird in frame but he was close enough that I figure this makes a more interesting web image.
Our friend Mary in Telegraph Cove is an avid hummingbird fan and there were 4 feeders on their front step doing booming business. Both Rufous and Anna's hummingbirds were present and in such great numbers that their constant buzzing was audible everywhere. Because they were so well fed and safe there they were also very good about having their pictures taken.
On the drive up the island we found a flock of Black Oystercatchers and Qualicum Beach and managed to get some nice pictures of them running around the beach and in the surf.
