Again there were lots of birds on my Byrne Creek walk in SE Burnaby, BC, this morning. I posted a series of shots of a Great Blue Heron in the previous post, and here’s an assortment of others.
Pileated Woodpecker
Hooded Merganser
Varied Thrush
American Robin
Black-capped Chickadee
I saw this Great Blue Heron overlooking the sediment pond in the Byrne Creek spawning habitat in SE Burnaby, BC. I wanted to check the pond for fry, and when I got closer the heron took off, and circled across the road.
Sure enough when I crossed the road 15 minutes or so later, there it was on the upstream side of the culvert.
I think it may also be happy that Coho salmon fry are emerging in the creek!
