Snow Geese, Hawk, Eagles n More at Iona Beach
I had a rewarding photo shoot at Iona Beach Regional Park near YVR today. It’s part of Metro Vancouver’s amazing regional parks system.
The previous post was of the lush blue skies and mountains, while this one focusses on some of the bird life I encountered today.

There were hundreds of Snow Geese

Byrne Creek in SE Burnaby Runs Milky Again
During my pre-lunch south Burnaby ramble, I noticed that Byrne Creek was running milky blue again. I called it in to City of Burnaby Environmental. This has happened several times over the last couple of months. Sigh. . .
UPDATE: Staff traced to construction site. It is illegal to pump out construction sites into street drains without remediation/filtration. Thank you for the swift response, and thanks to others who apparently reported this, too!
