We took a walk in the rain in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in Burnaby, BC, today. It appeared conditions were perfect for fungi, as we saw many varieties.
Note: Don’t ask me which are safe, I just take photos! : -)

We took a ramble round the Historic Stewart Farm in Surrey, BC, enjoying the bees working on the beautiful blossoms, and Steller’s Jays working on acorns.
Frog, Great Blue Heron fishing, and a Belted Kingfisher during a Deer Lake ramble in Burnaby BC, this morning.
Belted Kingfisher at long range. These raucous, yet skittish birds are hard to shoot!
This Great Blue Heron caught several small fish in a span of a few minutes.
Blossoms and assorted buzzers along the river walk in New Westminster, BC.
A cool sip on a sunny day. . .
Loaded up and heading home. . .
Love the peeling patterns on this arbutus
We took the Skytrain and Seabus to North Vancouver today, and wandered west along the shore, and then back east along the shore. Then back on the Seabus to the south side to ramble around Canada Place before heading home.
Gorgeous day!
The juvenile Red-tailed Hawks are still hanging around in the tree canopy next to our townhouse in SE Burnaby, BC.
They are now taking short flights of up to around 10-20 meters. One ventured as far as the roof of a townhouse across from us, hung out there for awhile, and then flew back into the trees.
There were three in view this evening.
More photos tonight taken from our bedroom window of young Red-tailed Hawks in SE Burnaby, BC.
There are at least two young, shrieking all day long for several days now, as the adults increasingly ignore them to try to get them to fly . . .
At this point they are still learning to fly, and just take short hops of a few meters high up in the trees.
We popped the screen out of the window so I could get unobstructed shots with a Tamron 150-600mm zoom on a Nikon Z50.
I had a wonderful pre-lunch walk at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC. Perfect weather, not too hot yet. . .

Had a great walk at Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby, BC, this morning. Photographed a Black-headed Grosbeak, a bird I don’t see very often. Also both Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds, a Brown-headed Cowbird grooming, and more.
