2019 Birding Blog: December 14 - Great Blue Heron Reserve

I volunteered to drive out to Chilliwack to pick up some golf passes that our group had purchased from the Chilliwack Golf Club. The Heron Reserve is not too far from there, so I paid a visit.

I've never had a lot of luck at this location for uncommon birds, but many of the usual suspects were present today.

There were good numbers of Ducks on the ponds.

I played with the crop on this photo of a flock or Ring-necked Ducks. Interesting mix of three males with one female.

Here's a Cormorant hanging out with the Mallards.

Here's a bushy looking Squirrel.

I was pretty well done here, but checked out the seed feeders before leaving. There was an assortment of House Finches partaking in the Sunflower seeds. I think the bird in the right background is a Red-winged Blackbird.
