Nice photos, Michel.  But I will be having nightmares about being eaten alive by killer seagulls...

That seagull needs the 'Gull Bib'.

  Nice pics Michel.  Except for the Phsyco Killer Gull.

Hey Michel, I picked up a really nice book from Costco on birds. (thanks for the tip purelife).  It's the Smithsonian Field Guide to the Birds of North America.  I would prefer one of just Vancouver Island or at least of just BC, but haven't come across one yet.  But the one I got is quite good.  I'm not fond of books on flowers, trees or wildlife that have drawings or illustrations.....I like photos.  This Smithsonian one is FULL of 500 pages of photos. (not bad for $16.99)

  add:  Actually I have one of Van Island, but they are illustrations.....and a good as they are, they are lacking when it comes to identification.

It's a goody.  I looked up those towhees, and there are 3 pages, (5 or 6 pictures per page) of variations of them.  THAT I like.

Actually I haven't even plugged it in yet.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]  I will have a peak later on today.  That too appeals to me, after the time I had trying to explain the racket I was hearing in the night to the Wildlife place here.....LOL  He wanted me to do the sound....I said I'd pass on that thanks.  I finally did find a website that had a bird call identification, but it was a long time finding it.  You kind of have to know what bird it is FIRST, which defeats the 'identification' thing.  

 Turns out it was this guy.....a Barred Owl.  What a range of noises they make.

They actually have that one at Costco right now as well. It's an ok book, but not what I was looking for.  

  Anyway.....gotta run.  I'll check out the DVD and let you know if it's good.
