The Xanthus' Hummingbird in Gibsons has not been seen in several weeks.

Sightings for Thursday, October 29th

The MOURNING WARBLER was seen again today in the Cora Brown subdivision on
Sea Island. The bird's persistent, loud chip note is the best clue to its
presence, though its skulking nature makes it difficult to see in the
area's thick brush. To look for this bird, park at Grauer and MacDonald,
proceed pass the log barrier along the lane and scale the dirt mound to the
north. Go past a water-filled white metal structure, walk to the right
along the old roadway and follow the wooden plank over the ditch. A
natural corridor of extremely dense brambles and maple trees will be
straight ahead and the bird is usually found at or near ground level.

An immature HARRIS' SPARROW was again located near the orange and white
tower to the west of MacDonald Beach on Sea Island and an immature NORTHERN
SHRIKE was near the tank farm on Grauer road, Sea Island.

Two late CINNAMON TEALS were at Centennial Beach and two MARBLED GODWITS
were again at Beach Grove, Tsawwassen. Ambleside in N Vancouver had 7
RING-NECKED DUCKS.
