I made a quick stop at Boundary Bay on this Sunday to see if there were any shorebirds close to shore. The tide was already going out, so the shorebirds were too far away. But there was a large collection of Brant Geese that were close enough to photograph.
These birds are often seen in Fall/Winter here. The prefer salt water, so Boundary Bay is a good location to see them. This was my first sighting of this species in 2020 and may be the last one I get for the year. This shot was the first I took for the record.

This is a crop that shows a little more detail.

With all these birds offshore, there are Bald Eagles among them looking for an easy meal. They must have spooked the flock, as many birds suddenly took flight.

This shot was taken in Point Roberts in 2019 and shows more detail of this attractive goose species.
