A quick smattering of pictures from camping this past weekend in Manning Park. We actually got to WATCH ice-off. There was only about a 10 foot stretch of visible water when we got there, and by the time we left most of lone duck bay was ice free.  Three new birds for me this weekend

Townsend's Warbler (not a GREAT shot, but as a first - I was pretty happy)
Red-breaste Sapsucker
Barrow's Goldeneye

1) Clark's Nutcracker

Great videos.

I can't seem to get anything other than house sparrows, white crowns and red wings at my feeders.  I miss my house in Kelowna.

Can't wait to get out of this condo and back into a house...

Not a lot of variety of birds on these two islands - mostly LAVA.  The ones that I DID see though were pretty cool!

1) Lava Heron

The day consisted of a lot of landscape/lava and a few birds mostly, but if you're interested, the whole set from the day can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonspeed/sets/72157630054697741/with/7182494163/

I hope you enjoy your virtual visit to Santiago and Bartolome islands in the Galalapagos.
