Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis)Observer
aivaDescription
Hen with 6 ducklings on an alpine pond, Tuya Mountains Provincial Park.
May be signiicant record of breeding in B.C., may be prompting future publication
of a natural history note. Same as https://inaturalist.ca/observations/185071769
My favourite species of duck, this was an absolute treat and a surprise to come across on our first full day.
More photos available upon request.

dbltuckerDescription
Not sure - have seen this winged thallus variant before. Looks kind of like Symphyogyna of the tropics, but I assume it is one of the Apopellias.

Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana var. garryana)Observer
steveansellDescription
Known isolated population on lower slopes of Sumas Mtn. Inaccessible location on private property, but visible with a long lens (and a little imagination) from across the Sumas River near McDonald Park. Characteristic twisted branches visible, with a few light green leaves (of fresh summer second growth); Bigleaf Maple also visible below for comparison of scale. Can't distinguish from English Oak at this distance though of course.
