I would like to dedicate this gallery to my friends Paul and his son David both avid photographers and bird watchers.
They introduced me to the Reifel Sanctuary in Ladner a few years ago and guided me to the Tsawwassen area and most of these pictures, especially the ones of the oystercatchers, wouldn't have been possible without them.
