not lots of birds in the area but quite a variety these days ... resident Bald Eagles may have an influence!
2 Trumpeter Swans settled in for a look with 5 or 6 Signets on Dec.2

Cormorant diving & mallard on lake (close to shore) with Bald Eagle soaring around perimeter (in search mode)
Lake is flat calm today and coots were evading the 'sitting duck' situation for the local bald eagles thus sticking to waters' edge & reeds.
new 'flock' of diving ducks arrived today (after the big rain yesterday) >> Pied billed Grebe, Bufflehead, Ring necked etc.
Executive Director (Cara Gibson) of Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary informed me of a 'DATASTREAM.com' that could share our Information of Fresh Water Lakes & Streams at the push of your one button! Perhaps you are aware?
She was at a Conference this weekend involving the Health of many Local freshwater Lakes in our Lower Island/ CRD and the Benefits of Water Rangers & Datastream was discussed there.
