Eagles, Finches, Pine Siskin & More in Burnaby

I spent a couple of hours at Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby this morning. In addition to my previous posts today featuring a Downy Woodpecker and a Rufous Hummingbird, here’s a collection of other birds I saw today.

Pine Siskin. These are the wee birds that have been suffering a salmonellosis outbreak around the BC lower mainland this year. Wildlife organizations asked people to take down bird feeders months ago to help prevent the spread of the disease, and AFAIK that advice still stands.

Yumi and I found a couple of dead ones earlier this year, so nice to see this one looking OK.
