January 31 - Oak Bay (#11)

I joined Jennie and David at RVYC for a paddle over to Oak Bay. We had light rain on and off but importantly almost glass-calm seas - making for great birding. I got some great views of ancient murrelets, a brace of red-breasted mergansers as well as lots of others. Including the singing Bewick's wren I saw walking home from the beach, 23 species: https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S80216349
