Byrne Creek Birds ‘n Beasts in Burnaby

We took a long walk along Byrne Creek and around Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE #Burnaby today, as we do several times a week. Good to see people physically distancing, but getting some exercise and fresh air.

We love to spot birds and bees and other beasts as we ramble the trails. Today was a good day. . .

I didn’t realize that Yumi and I are reflected in all of these bubbles in the sediment trap until I downloaded the photos!

I am by no means an expert in arachnids, but poking around online makes me think this is Goldenrod Crab Spider. It was tiny, as you can see in the next photo of where Yumi spotted it on a dandelion.
