BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER


When you are cold and hungry it does not seem to matter who else is around. Very few of these hundreds of birds was much concerned with other birds. Their main concern was to get a share of the food. Ducks, ducks and more ducks, swans, gulls, pigeons....they all were tryin to come in from the cold for a snack. I never realized just how big those swans are when they are out of the water. One was standing on my toes. This is Esquimalt Lagoon which is a bird sanctuary. It is next to Fort Rodd Hill one of Victoria's attractions. The lagoon is worth a visit by itself.
