All

Interesting day, today. I was just out taking some pictures in the
snow and wound up seeing all sorts of goodies.

At least 6 juvenile Bald Eagles along Blaney Creek.
American Dippers in 2 different locations. Boy can they sing when
they want to!
American Kestrel (male) where Neaves Rd turns into Ranee.
Lots of Red-tails all over the place.
Peregrine Falcon while driving along Old Dewdney Trunk Rd between
Neaves and 203rd.
Br....er Northern Shrike of the N end of 224th.
Lots of Varied Thrush now highly visible.
And the usual gang of LBBs hanging out around a feeder location on
Blaney Creek with a N Flicker and Belted Kingfisher thrown in to
boot.

Kind of a nice non birding day. Didn't pull the binocs out
once...that's a lie, had to confirm the Kestrel cause I didn't want
to spook it.

I hope everyone has A Happy Healthy & Prosperous New Year.

All the Best for 2004.
