i spent a few days at a cabin, tucked away from the big city in Roberts Creek,BC, generally known as the Sunshine Coast . i ddn't get out birding much, but had my gear with me. anyways, i had a visitor every day.

as i sat there every morning on the deck having my Baileys coffee, i took a few shots here and there.
