To escape the rampant insanity of our species, I spent a cold Saturday morning sitting on a beach as a flock of Sanderlings and Dunlins flew in and wandered all around me.
Needless to say, I fell in love with them.
Here's a portrait of a beautiful little Sanderling.

I do a lot of walking around the city and often see things that catch my eye. I may as well share them here.

@npub17nc…9dam thank you for reading. I find a flicker of hope in sharing my love for these birds.

This is the second year that this highly leucistic Fox Sparrow has shown up at Jericho park here in Vancouver.
It's thought birds with leucism have shorter lifespans given they're more obvious to predators.
I don't know of any research that proves or disproves the claim, given the variability and rarity of leucism as well as the difficulty of tracking a leucistic bird throughout its lifespan.
If anyone knows any relevant research, please let me know.

Ok friends, I finally updated my webpage.
It's a challenge since I'm not visiting gull nests anymore, but if you want to see some birds from the Pacific Northwest and read my rants about humans, here you go:
