It’s been over two years since my move to Victoria and many of the local birds here are familiar from my previous existence in the Lower Mainland, but not all.
So this year I have tried to include as many new species as possible – new for my calendars, that is. This does mean that some favourites (such as owls) are absent.
January - Dark-eyed Junco
February - Common Murre
March - Marsh Wren
April - Belted Kingfisher (male)
May - lazuli Bunting (male)
June - American Kestrel (male)
July - Brandt's Cormorants
August - Osprey
September - Rock Wren
October - Tropical Kingbird
November - Black Oystercatcher
December - Rhinoceros Auklet
