T his large and colourful bird was very content tapping away on my clothesline pole and stayed for about an hour and a half that afternoon. I quickly grabbed a camera and took a few frames. Then realized I could set up the tripod and telephoto lens to get a better shot. I was inside the house, and about 40 feet away from the bird when I took this frame.
W e observe many different birds over the seasons.
On another occasion, a flock of 30-40 cedar waxwings visited for about a week and then returned again 4 months later in the fall. T he northern flicker is a regular visitor and stellars jays make their nests here. The Fraser River Delta provides a wonderful setting for bird-watching. Nestled between the north arm of the Fraser River and south to Boundary Bay on the American border. Delta BC is a major nesting and feeding ground while birds are migrating.
