I came across four or five Steller’s Jays hanging out together during my morning walk in SE Burnaby, BC.

I also heard a bird drumming on metal flashing, and figured it would be a Northern Flicker. I eventually spotted it atop a tall utility pole.

And today, as with many days recently, there were Varied Thrushes hanging around Byrne Creek Ravine Park.
