My second outing with the Ken ‘s Birding Photography class took place August 31, 2013 and started in the same place as the first, at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.  This time it ended at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal along the South side of the spit.  One of our last sightings was a small group of 5 Harlequin Ducks that were slowly working their way down the length of the spit.

Besides lots of pictures, I took a minute long video with my camera that was sufficiently entertaining that I dressed it up using Microsoft Movie Maker, added some music (to replace the sounds of automobile traffic and birder chit-chat) and made it available for general consumption in the video window below and on both Flickr and YouTube (my first ever YouTube video).

So, without further ado, here are ‘5 Harlequin Ducks’:

The streaming from Flickr and/or Youtube may not be very smooth so downloading a copy from the ‘Share’ menu or from one of the versions on Flickr and watching locally should lead to a noticeably better experience.

Enjoy!
