This guy was hanging around near the bird feeders at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, Chilliwack, B.C. Believe it is a juvenile because of the lighter feathers on the back.

On 8 June 1944, the entire crew, except for Navigator 2nd Lt. William L. Reese who had been "borrowed" to fly on the 853rd Squadron lead plane, were all killed returning to their airbase at Metfield, England. They had aborted their mission with a feathered No. 1 engine and after returning to the airbase, circled the field three times with a full load of fuel and bombs, lost control as they attempted to land and crashed on the field. SSgt. Lester J. Datthyn (Tail Gunner) was not in the crew photo, but was also killed in the crash. William L. Reese was killed 26 Nov 1944 on the raid over Misberg.
