Red-backed Shrike - Powell River, BC
One of the most interesting rare birds of the year landed in Powell River, BC in Oct of 2020. The trek to get there for me was a ferry, an overnight stay, another ferry, 3 hours of looking for our bird, 20 minutes of photos, 2 ferries and an hour and a half drive home. He was well worth it! Our little friend is the first record for Canada and stuck around from Oct 22-30. He was mostly interested in the insects crawling around in the grass. I was very happy to count myself among those who saw this bird.
