Spent three or four hours at Iona Beach Regional Park this afternoon, part of Metro Vancouver’s superb regional parks system.

American Goldfinch

Photographers were drooling over this bluebird. I was, like, that’s a bluebird? : -)

Crows are so smart and cool. . .

Tree swallows having a, er, friendly chat over real estate

Thinking Double-Crested Cormorant?

Red-Winged Blackbird

Snow Geese spooked by an eagle

Said eagle contemplating its poor luck and plotting its next move — and no, I’m not making this up, it flew straight across and I saw it land in this tree.
