Lots of gorgeous Wood Ducks at Burnaby Lake.
You photographers crack me up! 🙂
Love these subdued yet shimmering colours on a female.

Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds at Burnaby Lake
Took a careful walk at Burnaby Lake. The Piper Spit boardwalk and the viewing tower were closed, but lots of room on the trails.
There were both Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds at the Burnaby Lake Nature House feeder.
Homemade Mask
The latest in fashion sewed by my wife Yumi. She even inserted a bendy metal strip on the top for a tighter seal. I can now go out in public after eating garlic sausage. . . Thanks, honey!
You will note the environmentally aware bumblebee pattern :-).
The advice on masks has swung back and forth. Yes, they may not protect you from the virus, but at least your exhalations won’t be floating around. . . And some stores are demanding you wear one before they will let you in, eh?
Signs of the Times in Burnaby Parks
Saw this on the Byrne Creek trail in SE Burnaby today. Great reminder!
And crows chasing a hawk, and more salmonid fry in the creek.
Burnaby Blossoms
Lovely signs of spring in south Burnaby, BC.
Feeders Entertain While Watching Covid News
While we watched the prime minister on TV this morning with our tea, we also had a fine display from our feathered friends!
Hummers, juncos, chickadees, nuthatches, sparrows. . .
Canadians, Now Is the Time to Stand Up to Racism
We should always stand shoulder to shoulder against racism, but in these times we need to be even more on guard.
As more reports of racist abuse appear related to Covid, I vow to speak up to any assholes exhibiting such behavior. .
In person.
Every time.
We cannot, and will not, allow such behavior to blossom.
Canadians are better than this.
Don’t behave like an asshole, eh?
