Heron, Eagle, Kingfisher at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park
We took a walk from Byrne Road all the way east past the railway bridge and to the meadow. Then we returned, and walked west to the confluence of Sussex Creek and the Fraser. Here are a few avian highlights:
Yumi spotted this Belted Kingfisher and I grabbed a few shots from a distance. When we tried to get closer it immediately took off.
Squawking Great Blue Heron
Nice when a single leaf provides shade when it’s 27 C out! 🙂
Black Bear at Nairn Falls Provincial Park, BC
Black bear at the campground at Nairn Falls Provincial Park south of Pemberton, BC, this morning. We’d just finished our breakfast and were packing up our camping gear when Yumi Kosaka spotted it calmly ambling through the woods scarfing berries.
No worries, these were shot a respectable distance away with the equivalent of a 600mm telephoto.
Then a little girl of around six or seven came by on her wee bicycle, saw us watching the bear, and began to drift in the bear’s direction like a moth to a flame.
Duffey Lake Road
After camping overnight at Nairn Falls Provincial Park, we took the long way home via the Duffey Lake Road and Lytton. We like doing this loop at least once a year.

Fraser Foreshore Pre-Heat Ramble
I headed out for a walk early today, and I’m glad I did because it’s around 26-27 C in Burnaby, BC, this afternoon.
Here are some shots along the trails:
