Social Distancing with Birds and Salmon Fry

We’re still doing Byrne Creek walks in SE Burnaby, being careful to give others a wide berth on the trails. Lots of wildlife out there to enjoy!

Looking for salmon fry. We spotted a few in the creek over a week ago, but had been skunked ever since.  But today we saw a few more. Yay!
