While we were looking for salmon spawning in Stoney Creek in NE Burnaby, BC, today, this Great Blue Heron came gliding in and landed beside the creek.
It was very chill — we followed it around for 10-15 minutes taking photos.
We noticed it was watching both the creek and the bank. It was likely looking for smaller fish like trout that gather to try to steal salmon eggs when salmon are spawning, and perhaps also keeping an eye on the bush anticipating rodents nibbling on salmon carcasses. . .
