The attached photos were taken on Aug 4, 2023 at about 5pm on the Southern BC coast, about 5 miles north of Lund B.C. (north end of the sunshine coast, on the mainline side of Georgia Straight).
I am unable to come even close to an id of a bird that shows an all dark (brown) head and neck and white wing with what appears, in photo 3 (5453), to be a white eye ring/stripe. I did try to attach a number to each photo but when I open them I do not see that so I hope the order is that in which I loaded them. sorry about that
Any and all help, advice, corrections, comments most welcome and appreciated.
I think it is an alcid, but which one I certainly do not know
Or if that whether it is an alcid.
Apologies for the photos not being all that helpful for an id.
thank you in advance
steve
