Hummingbirds, Robins, Towhees in Burnaby, BC
I had great fun photographing this Anna’s Hummingbird near Taylor Park in SE Burnaby, BC. I started shooting from a distance, and slowly moved in closer.
At one point I was standing underneath it, but was shooting into backlight, so I wondered if it would hang around while I climed a six-foot embankment to get a better angle.
I was gratified that it waited for me :-).
I liked the diagonal effect of this robin and the blossoms

There were a couple of Bald Eagles in the area of the pond just west of the mouth of Byrne Creek in SE Burnaby, BC, this afternoon. They have a nest further west, and it appears one of them may have been repair materials.
Cute Raccoon in Byrne Creek Ravine Park
A few minutes after I started out on my Byrne Creek ravine walk in SE Burnaby, BC, this morning, I heard several crows doing an intruder alert.
I followed the noise, suspecting they were harrassing an owl or a hawk, but I had trouble spotting anything.
As I wriggled my way closer through the bush, I finally noticed a lump on the tree the crows were focused on, and eventually it became evident the lump had a ringed tail, and then this face came into focus .
