I got some shots of these guys last year at Lonsdale Quay and was recently reminded of them by another photog who lives in the hood and mentioned they were quite active at the moment.
After a quick look during the week (with no birds in sight) i discovered on friday that the morning was the optimum time and i spent some time on the small dock shooting away, until a boat cruised up and actually wanted to use the dock for it's purpose and i wrapped things up.
i wasn't set up for flight shots but nailed a couple of semi-decent looks anyways with the 500mm + 1.4x tele on
nothing too special here and i wasn't able to get anywhere near close enough to the flicker due to terrain but it is a nest hole, and one i will be checking up on later - at maplewood flats
First warbler of the year for me
yellow-rumped (audubon's) warbler - maplewood flats
