I had a productive morning walk around Byrne Creek and Taylor Park in SE Burnaby, BC.

Sick Pine Siskin in SE Burnaby
Sad to come across this ailing Pine Siskin near Edmonds Skytrain Station in Burnaby, BC, today.
Initially it was unresponsive, just sitting on the ground and swaying a little. It fluttered into a tree, so I couldn’t capture it to take it in to Wildlife Rescue, but it was obviously ill.
They have been hit by a salmonella outbreak, and we’ve come across three or four dead ones so far this year.
