A lovely Anna’s Hummingbird on our walk today.
Nesting Robin, House Finches, Fraser Foreshore Burnaby
I spotted a nesting American Robin at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby today. I took a couple of quick photos with a long telephoto lens and then backed off.
One, I didn’t want to frighten it, and, two, I didn’t want to point it out to potential predators. Yes, other birds and animals will watch to see what you’re watching. . .
Also saw several musical House Finches.

Sick Pine Siskin in SE Burnaby
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.
