Birdwatching in B.C: Waiting for the ferry
What to do when you're waiting for your ship to arrive? Look at all the seabirds of course.
A gull flies across the scene as the shutter closes. It carries on across the bay.
These gulls sport an interesting gray colouration. A different species perhaps?
A crow flies through the area, probably looking for invertebrates to eat.
Who's this bird off in the distance? Zoom. Enhance.
A-ha! A duck! I knew there was a diversity of birds on this shoreline.
Our corvid cousin looks for a snack among the sea pebbles. Hope he finds a crab or two!
Someone left this half-smoked doobie here! I made sure to dispose of it carefully.
That being said, there's nothing like a stoned boat ride across the Strait of Georgia after a birdwatching session. After a while the ferry arrived and off we went to Nanaimo. The exploration of the island and new species of birds and plants await!
To be continued ...
I heard Vancouver Island is gorgeous, are there mosquitoes?
Like everywhere in Canada, there are mosquitoes in the summer. My advice: hang out in the direct sunlight where they don't like to lurk.
For some reason those birds look really angry. Did you do anything to them?
That's just your interpretation - I think the duck looks absolutely like it's smirking at you!
