Record shot of Male Hermit Warbler (Setophaga occidentalis) - Courtenay, BC
Was super cool to get my 420th bird species for BC at Mt. Washington today. This pure male Hermit Warbler was found by Lori Smith yesterday. We get lots of hybrids here so it's a real rarity. The bird was singing and seemed to be on territory hope it is there for all twitching tomorrow.
On the ride home we were blessed with spectacular views of 2 pods of Killer Whales.
*Heavy crop.
