Went down to Boundary Bay park today for some bird watching. Had some good luck - saw lots of herons, a red tailed hawk, and this northern harrier.

We drove down to within 5 metres of the US border with Point Roberts - you can see a sign on the other side of the 6ft cyclone fence that says "Roosevelt Way". It's a small exclave of the USA created through essentially a surveying oversight.

Had a really nice dinner afterwards at Alfa's Greco-Roman. Mmm. Content.

Point Roberts is an interesting case - the only way out of it by land is through Canada. No airports, no scheduled ferry.

In fact, on the way back, I was passed by a US DHS Customs and Border Protection car - one of the few times you'll see a US Government plated car outside of the US.
