We enjoyed watching this European Starling using a cavity in old piling in the river off the boardwalk in New Westminster, BC.

There were several kinds of bees and lots of blossoms on the boardwalk in New Westminster. Also great to see Mason Bee boxes with full tubes.

A lovely Anna’s Hummingbird on our walk today.

I spotted a nesting American Robin at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby today. I took a couple of quick photos with a long telephoto lens and then backed off.

One, I didn’t want to frighten it, and, two, I didn’t want to point it out to potential predators. Yes, other birds and animals will watch to see what you’re watching. . .

Also saw several musical House Finches.

All these were shot within five meters of our front door. Fun foto excercise!

There were several Barn Swallows hanging around a garden shop in south Burnaby.

Scotch Broom is an invasive plant species here in BC, but bees sure love it!
