I spotted this gull near Granville Island in Vancouver today. It appeared to have tried to swallow a sea star whole. I hope it’s OK. I offered to pull it out but the gull wasn’t having any of that. . .
Yumi and I walked the Pitt River Greenway in Pitt Meadows, BC, for a couple of hours today, starting from Harris Landing and heading past the airport and back, and then east and back. Lovely day!
Lovely morning with lots of wildlife at Deer Lake in Burnaby, BC, today.
Canada Goose goslings
The parents are very protective
Mallard Mom taking the kids for a stroll
She was snacking on dandelions along the way
Caught this Great Blue Heron in flight heading home to the Deer Lake colony with material to repair a nest
Hummer coming in for a landing. These wee birds are very territorial, and once you spot them, you can be nearly assured of seeing them using the same perches
Had a long walk both west and east from Byrne Road along the Fraser this afternoon. Lots to see and photograph. One advantage to having aching knees is that you slow down and see more. . .
