Victoria Songbirds

To wrap up the West Coast vacation posts (previous posts here and here), here are a few shots of birds taken in Victoria and elsewhere on the Saanich Peninsula.  As usual, all photos can be clicked to enlarge.

Violet-green Swallow feeding young at nestbox at the Butchart Gardens

Dark-eyed Junco, "Oregon" variety, also at the Butchart Gardens

A very poor photo, included only because it was a life bird! - A Bewick's Wren in shrubby pathway area in Victoria

In the same general location, another denizen of photography-challenging dark shrubs and leaf litter, one of many Spotted Towhee

The poorly named Pelagic Cormorant at Sidney docks

Female Anna's Hummingbird, one of several fighting over my Aunt and Uncle's feeder
