Eagle Creek Walk in Burnaby Yields Flickers, Woodpeckers

We had an order to pick up in north Burnaby today, so we took the opportunity to stretch our legs on trails near Eagle Creek and Squint Lake. Access to the lake was closed, but other trails were open, and there were almost no people using them.

Happy to spot a Northern Flicker grooming, a Downy Woodpecker, and assorted flora.

It’s interesting that in some parts of Burnaby salmonberry blossoms are nearly done, while in other areas they’re still strong. Different elevations and microclimates. . .
