I biked towards Steveston today. Along the way, I was searching for the harriers that always rested on the logs when I pass by. I didn't see anything except for this little round thing moving on top of the fallen log.

Northern Flicker searching for food...
Another nice day today, although it was quite chilly and windy.
Young Great Blue Heron.
It was a female Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) searching for food within the long-dead trees.
Searching for food again. I think it was digging for insects rather than drilling for them, because I didn't hear anything loud drilling noises like the ones I usually hear from woodpeckers and barbets.
Arriving at Garry Point Park. At the edge of the rain-filled pond was a group of Ring-billed Gulls.
Saw a pair of shy Red-breasted Mergansers (Mergus serrator). Such peculiar looking birds with stylish crowns.
