Pigeon Guillemot - Lonsdale Quay, BC
Vancouver has some amazing locations for birding and one of them is The Lonsdale Quay. These striking seabirds nest under the pier at the old ship yards and can be found calling in the late winter getting ready for mating season and this year there were 5 pairs that I counted. Most of the Pigeon Guillemots cousins fly very far distances to capture roving fish food for their young and there for only have one young, but these birds are bottom fish feeders and therefor don't have to travel and are able to feed two young in a season.
