Barred Owl, Bunny in Byrne Creek Ravine Park
We timed our morning walk on Byrne Creek in Burnaby, BC, today perfectly, getting home just as the sky opened up and the rain came down.
Yumi spotted a bunny (European Rabbit?), and a Barred Owl that’s been attracting photographers to the ravine for weeks. It was quiet today, apparently the owl chicks have moved on, so the owl is getting some respite.
