We walked the beach at White Rock, BC, today, and went to the end of the pier as well. Lots of bird species to see!

There were dozens of Surf Scoters fishing for shellfish

Black Oystercatcher

Western Grebe

Bufflehead double date. . .

Pelagic Cormorant

Waiting for a confirmation on this one, but it may be a Black Turnstone. If so, a first for us!

UPDATE: Yup, the hive mind at iNaturalist confirms Black Turnstone. Yay, a new species!

As we were driving back to Burnaby today I got a few shots of a lovely moon from the Alex Fraser Bridge and from south Burnaby.

While I enjoy driving, it’s great having Yumi take the wheel so I can relax and appreciate the trip.

We took a walk along the beach and out to the end of the White Rock pier and back. Lovely light. . .
