I spent about four hours rambling Iona Beach Regional Park near YVR today, part of the superb Metro Vancouver Regional Parks system.

First, welcome to the ‘hood. . . Not! Red-Winged Blackbird greeting committee. . .

Next up, lots of tree swallows.

Perhaps not the best spot to attempt a landing, damselfly!

Look Ma! No head!

And lots of waxwings. . .

A couple of hummers. . .

And finishing off with an osprey. . .
