This very young Pacific Wren was seen near Sombrio Beach in Juan de Fuca Provincial Park on the southwestern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It stayed still in this spot for some time, waiting to be fed by a parent.
Male Pacific Wrens build multiple nests within their territory. During courtship, males lead the female around to each nest and the female chooses which nest to use.
Pacific Wrens may congregate near streams when salmon are migrating in the Pacific Northwest to cash in on the abundance of insects that are attracted to salmon carcasses.
Some populations of Pacific Wrens move short distances after the breeding season and others stay in the same place year-round.
Pacific Wrens sometimes pile into nest boxes to stay warm when the weather turns cold. Thirty-one individuals were found together in one nest box in western Washington.
From my birthday trip a few years ago to the Oregon coast.. we had some crazy weather, but with a January birthday, I have come to accept that!
When shooting the Pacific Coast in Oregon you think sunset ... but the sunrise light out over the ocean at daybreak was very pretty too.

This photo was taken from the Port Welshpool Long Jetty which extends 800 metre out into the waters of Corner Inlet in the state of Victoria, Australia. This Pacific Gull was ever ready to swoop down and land on the water to grab the occasional bait that happened to fall off a fishing line cast from the jetty.
The Pacific Gull is Australia’s largest gull and despite its name it is rarely seen on Australia’s Pacific coastline as it lives mainly on the beaches bordering the Southern and Indian oceans.
The Pacific Gull is a very large black-backed gull with a wing span of up to 157 cm or 62 inches and has a massive yellow bill, broadly tipped with scarlet on both the upper and lower mandible. The upper wings and wingtips are wholly black with a narrow white inner trailing edge, the tail is white with a broad black band near the end. The legs are yellow to orange-yellow.
The wings of the juvenile Pacific Gulls are mottled dark brown, their face is pale with a black-tipped yellow bill, and a whitish mottled body.
This gull's mottled dark brown coloring and the black and pink tip on its bill indicates that this gull is younger than 4-years old at which age the tip of its bill will be completely scarlet, its upper wings will be black with a narrow white inner trailing edge, and its body feathers white.
Young birds attain their adult plumage only gradually and by its fourth year, a young Pacific gull has usually become difficult to tell apart from an adult bird.
Pacific Black Duck is a sparrow of our ducks: common in number and looks. Really?
Every bird is unique and beautiful in its own right. Actually, House Sparrows are uncommon in my area. They are exotic! Rainbow Lorikeets are plentiful and common. I love them all...

Wikipedia: The Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra), also known as the eastern reef heron or eastern reef egret, is a species of heron found throughout southern Asia and Oceania. In Australia, Pacific reef herons inhabits most of the coastline, and offshore islands including the Torres Strait Islands. Pacific reef herons are widespread across Micronesia, with breeding records in Guam, the Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau, among various other islands. The species also breeds throughout western Polynesia, including in Fiji, French Polynesia, and Tonga – though it does not breed in Niue.
It occurs in two color morphs with either slaty grey or pure white plumage. The sexes are similar in appearance.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Yes, we have a Pacific Ocean down here too...
A short 925 gets up to speed after a crew change and shunt at Timaru before resuming its journey south. It will add to its load at Pukeuri (and possibly Oamaru) within the hour.
