On Saturday November 26th I started the day with another visit to the
Lost Lagoon, seeing many of the species from the day before but also a
Pacific Wren and a River Otter! Although it was drizzling I went a
little further than the previous day and made it to Second Beach where
the water held Bufflehead, both Common and Barrow's Goldeneye, a
solitary Surf Scoter and my target: a Harlequin Duck. This was the first
one I had seen since a wintering bird in San Diego around 1990. I then
returned to the hotel.

We spent the morning driving around Stanley Park in the rain adding a
number of birds to the trip list including Red-breasted and Common
Mergansers, Horned Grebe and Wood Ducks.
Our last stop was to Jericho Park where a group of 8 White-winged Scoters added the eleventh and final year bird to my trip list
