Big birds ...
Tyee Spit, and the water surrounding it, the Campbell River estuary and the northern tip of the Georgia Strait, are home to many birds, mostly small, mostly distant, mostly (except for sleepy mallards) extremely active. And then there are the eagles, content to just sit and watch.
They were there when I arrived, they were there when I left, an hour later. |
An inventory of the birds of Tyee Spit is never complete without at least one of these:
Cessna 185 Skywagon. Content to just watch for now. |

Pájaros grandes ...
Tyee Spit, la lengueta de tierra que separa el estuario del Rio Campbell del extremo norte del Estrecho de Georgia, junto con sus aguas vecinas, provee hábitat a muchísimos pájaros, por la mayor parte pequeños, casi siempre allá en la distancia, y normalmente (aparte de los ánades reales, los dormilones) muy activos. Esta pareja de águilas, en cambio, se dedican a quedarse quietos, vigilantes.
- Dos águilas adultas. Estaban allí en su rama cuando lleguá, seguían en la misma rama cuando me fui, una hora más tarde.
- Ningún inventario de las aves de Tyee Spit se puede considerar completo si no incluye por lo menos uno de estos: esta avioneta flotante es un Cessna 185 Skywagon. Por ahora, se dedica a esperar.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
