Hi all,

As Rob mentioned, my wife Victoria managed to get some great shots of the
prairie warbler at bayside point. I posted a few on my flickr site
http://www.flickr.com/photos/69746634@N02/ We watched the warbler for quite
a while as it managed to catch an unknown insect and then brought it down
to the ground for consumption. Great find Rob! Looks to be the new northern
most ebird record for JAN.

We made rounds at a few other places, mainly taking it slow and playing
around with our new camera lens. Other big highlight of the day was a
razorbill at the tip of the OC inlet. The bird was hanging out for a while
but pulled a disappearing act after a boat came through.
