We saw one again around 10:40 about 100 yards to the northwest. Like you, I wondered if it may have been a different bird, as it had a noticeably denser-patterned back than the initial sighting. I'm now quite convinced there are two wintering YBLOs in the channel between Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbor. There were a number of birders and photographers on both sides of the channel, so if some photos get published to eBird, they might serve well to settle the question.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anyways, I can confirm that one YBLO was successfully located, photographed, and added to the database for the White Rock CBC.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Feel free to share this publicly on Tweeters if you feel it useful.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Stephen Chase</div></div></div>
