Can you spot the Bald Eagles?
Late afternoon view from Boundary Bay Regional Park near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Spot the Bald Eagles! :)
About this photo: This last week has been so gorgeous and it feels like spring has arrived with lots of sunshine and temperatures around +12C/54F! After our daughter's soccer game last weekend there was still some afternoon/evening left and we decided to drive out to beautiful Boundary Bay Regional Park which is located in the South Delta/Tsawwassen area of Greater Vancouver near the USA border (Washington State). Ava enjoyed playing on the wonderful playground right by the beach and after that we went for a walk around the area to captured some photos of the area. We stayed until the sun went down.
I noticed there were quite some Bald Eagles flying around. When I was taking some photos of the late sunlight and on the surrounding mountains I spotted a few Bald Eagles sitting on the dry sandy areas left by the low tide along the shoreline. Through my lens I couldn't really tell how many were there, but there were a couple for sure. Turns out there were a few more. I thought it made the photo more interesting. Can you spot them? :)
Enjoy!

Some information about Boundary Bay Regional Park: It has a beautiful big playground for kids right at the beach, there is a big beach, the Centennial Cafe, walking trails and more. The views from here are amazing with the mountains and the ocean. You can see Mount Baker (located in the USA) from here as well.
Boundary Bay Regional Park is stretched along Delta's southwestern shores and is a haven of warm shallow waters. The huge stretch of sand, sea and wetlands provide for a number of water activities from para sailing, skim boarding and swimming at Centennial Beach to an array of wading birds such as sandpipers, gulls and blue herons. At low tide, the beach curves around to Point Roberts (Washington State, USA).
There are picnic tables as well and a lot of the trails are accessible for bike riding or horseback riding as well. The dykes are great places to view eagles, hawks and owls year round. The last couple of winters the Snowy Owl has been frequenting the area. Hopefully they will return this year, I'd love to go and see if I can capture some photos of this beautiful owl.
