In addition to the Great Blue Heron fishing in my previous post, we enjoyed seeing lots of other wildlife in SE Burnaby, BC, earlier today.

Another Great Blue Heron
Anna’s Hummingbird

I always enjoy watching herons fishing. Their skills are astounding.
It’s bee-coming more like spring every day in Burnaby, BC. Today we were happy to see lots of bees on blossoms on Byrne Creek.
Yay, we have Coho salmon fry in Byrne Creek! Yumi spotted fry the other day, and today we took a look and saw dozens in the vicinity of the footbridge in the lower ravine.
Hard to get a good shot, but you can make out the pale orange caudal fin and the black/white stripes on the anal fin on the fish in the foreground.
Wonderful to see after the creek was hammered by the massive flows from the atmospheric rivers, and many releases of silt from construction sites.
