It’s been awhile since the tube caught Sora’s attention, but tonight she found a cheetah documentary on TV Japan riveting.

Aquatic Bug Survey on Byrne Creek in Burnaby
A small group of Byrne Creek Streamkeepers volunteers sampled four sites in the creek for aquatic bugs in SE Burnaby, BC, today. Such surveys give us an indication of the water quality.
We kept everything outdoors, and limited to just a handful of volunteers.
While we haven’t tallied the numbers yet, I’d guess from what we were observing that the ratings will be pretty low. Our bug counts tend to be poor and our bugs tiny on this creek in a highly urbanized wateshed.

CSI Byrne Creek Feathers
I came across these feathers, and a few more bloody bits on my Byrne Creek ravine walk in SE #Burnaby this morning.
Hawks, Barred Owls, and the occasional Bald Eagle frequent the area, and it appears one of these raptors had breakfast in the raw.

Satyr Comma Butterfly on Byrne Creek Trail
Satyr Comma on the trail to Byrne Creek near the tennis courts at the bottom end of Ron McLean Park in SE Burnaby.
I often get the impression that if you’re non-threatening, butterflies almost seen to enjoy “flirting” with you. : -)
We hung out together for five minutes or more, and at one point it landed on my pants pocket and sat there for awhile.
