Love this oasis in Burnaby!

This bumblebee was as big as the first joint of my thumb

Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC, was lovely following the rain. Fresh and crisp, with wonderful sights and fragrances.

Folks good at physical distancing. . .

I’ve never seen as many Wilson’s Warblers as I’ve seen this spring. Also lots of hummers about.

Red-Winged Blackbirds at Elgin Heritage Park in south Surrey, BC. They were feeling their oats, lots of chasing around in the reeds .

Splish splash, I was takin’ a bath. . . Robin at Elgin Heritage Park in south Surrey, BC.

Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds at Elgin Heritage Park in south Surrey, BC. Gorgeous day and few people, all of whom were careful about physical distancing.

Goldfinch and House Finches at the Historic Stewart Farm in south Surrey, BC, today.

The farmhouse is closed, but the park is open, and in three or four hours of walking the trails I came across perhaps eight people.

Here are a few miscellaneous beasts from today’s Fraser Foreshore Park walk, in addition to the previous hawk, eagle, and woodpecker albums. It was great fun, but I’m tired!

I love how these wee fluffers sing up a storm!

I’ve been seeing Downy Woodpeckers regularly at Fraser Foreshore Park in south Burnaby, BC, on my last several foto forays. . .

This Bald Eagle soared overhead and freaked out a bunch of gulls at Fraser Foreshore Park in south Burnaby this morning.
