More drama at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC, today.
There were several crows harrassing this Red-tailed Hawk on the top of the Ballard building.
A few photos in, you can see the edge of what may be a crow’s wing beneath the hawk. If that’s the case, no wonder the crows were pissed. . .
Eventually they drove the hawk off and it retreated to the top of a tree across the road.
As I headed down the urban trail through Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC, today, I heard a Steller’s Jay chattering away.
I didn’t see the Jay, but its “raptor in the ‘hood” warning helped me spot this Barred Owl.
I spotted this Great Blue Heron in the pond near the mouth of Byrne Creek in Burnaby, BC, today. Seeing that it was stalking something, I took shot after shot as it eventually caught a frog.
