Spotted two Anna’s Hummingbirds in Taylor Park in SE Burnaby, BC, in their usual spots again.

I heard some crows making a racket and figured they were harassing a raptor.

Sure enough, I eventually made out this hawk (Red-tailed?) in a tree.

After awhile the crows flushed the hawk, and it flew to a light standard above the Skytrain maintenance yard, where the crows continued to dog it.

I’ve been hearing woodpeckers on my daily walks but despite the noise they make, they can be hard to spot. I finally got some shots of this Downy Woodpecker in Taylor Park in SE Burnaby, BC, today.

A birding first for me. A Cinnamon Teal playing peekaboo in a marshy area at Centennial Beach in Delta, BC, this morning.

Crows often have it in for raptors, and one was giving this Bald Eagle a chase this morning at Centennial Beach in Delta, BC.

I love roaming the trails at Centennial Beach in Delta, BC, looking for Northern Harriers. Got some good shooting today!

On our morning walk in Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby, BC, we decided to follow the trail past the waste-to-energy facility and further along the river.

We spotted these bedraggled-looking Bald Eagles cleaning up in a tree. Don’t know if they’d been mud wrestling or fishing in the silty Fraser, but they were interesting to watch!

As we were walking around the meadow in the Big Bend in SE  Burnaby, BC,  this morning, we saw this Northern Flicker cruising back and forth just above the ground.

Parking was crazy on a sunny Saturday, but after we found a spot the beach and low-tide flats were not that crowded.

On our pre-supper walk we saw two Barred Owls, both of them snoozing.
