We rambled Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby, BC, for several hours. One of the highlights was watching this Northern Flicker eating ants, and possibly stealing a grub from them, too.

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.
