Owl, Osprey at Burnaby Lake in Burnaby, BC

We took a long walk at Burnaby Lake today, first checking out Piper Spit for bird action, and then going west, back to the spit, and then east.

At one point as we were walking a trail I said “this looks like a place owls would like.” About five seconds later, Yumi says, “and there’s one there.”

A little further on and we saw a raptor high in a tree, eventually getting close enough to see it was an osprey with a fish.
