Feathered Friends - Eagles, Geese and Owls


A cool place to see tons (likely thousands) of eagles is the Chehalis River estuary. The annual Fraser River Eagle Festival takes place mid November but the eagles are still there feasting on (rather ripe, don’t expect sushi) salmon. There are a couple of official view points (first picture was taken at one of them) at the Sandpiper Golf Course (Pretty Estates) and Eagle Point Park.



Snow geese near George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary on December 6th. Hope that won't be the only white we get to see for Christmas in Vancouver ... still 18 days away.


Last but not least I practiced BIF photography. For those who don't know (like I a couple of weeks ago) BIF is birds in flight. Short eared owls at Boundary Bay in late October.
