I was very pleased last week to add this bird species to my list of sightings. They are male (left) and female Yellow Warblers (Dendroica petechia). These were traveling with a group of friends, probably on their way south since they winter in Central and South America. They were very busy feeding, hopping and fluttering from branch to branch at the edge of the West Bay Walkway.
Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities. Click the photos to see them larger!
