Bewick's Wren and Fox Sparrow: October 5, 2022

On Wednesday morning we joined the Victoria Natural History Group on a walk through the Swan Lake Bird Sanctuary.  They were so welcoming.  When they discovered that some of their common birds would be life birds for us, they worked to find them.

That's how we met the Bewick's Wren.

 We met the Bewick's again on the thirteenth when we took an estuary walk at Duncan.

And the Fox Sparrow.

Fox Sparrows are infrequent visitors to Saskatchewan.  So far we have never been fortunate enough to see one here, but we were privileged to see several on Vancouver Island.

Both of these Fox Sparrows are of the Sooty subspecies.  This one was also in Duncan.
