Wildlife encounters on my walk today at the Pacific Geoscience Center. Many seals on a dock. A blue heron and a kingfisher on a breakwater, and a seal frolicking at the end of the big dock. What a great place to work!

So on Remembrance Day remembering some of the original anti-fascists. My dad was in the navy for 25 years starting in WWII based in the Atlantic including the Caribbean and down to South America. Uncle Walt was in the army and saw active duty in the Netherlands. Miss em both!

But of a rough ride to get to Hornby today! Had to go into the wind towards Fords cove and then cut hard once we were in a bit of the lee of the island. Quite the rocking and rolling for a while

This video does not do this murmuration justice. It was amazing! With the light turning the birds from light to dark. At the Tsawwassen ferry terminal . So I assume these are the migrating snow geese? If it is snow geese do you still call it a murmuration?
