Anna’s, Rufous Hummingbirds in Surrey, BC
Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds at Elgin Heritage Park in south Surrey, BC. Gorgeous day and few people, all of whom were careful about physical distancing.
Goldfinch, House Finches in South Surrey, BC
Goldfinch and House Finches at the Historic Stewart Farm in south Surrey, BC, today.
The farmhouse is closed, but the park is open, and in three or four hours of walking the trails I came across perhaps eight people.
Assorted Beasts From Fraser Foreshore Park Walk
Here are a few miscellaneous beasts from today’s Fraser Foreshore Park walk, in addition to the previous hawk, eagle, and woodpecker albums. It was great fun, but I’m tired!
I love how these wee fluffers sing up a storm!

Refreshing Post-Hail Walk in SE Burnaby, BC
We took a walk in Byrne Creek Ravine Park after the hailstorm had passed in SE #Burnaby today. The air was so crisp and clean!
Refurbed Mac Mini Still Going Strong
For a 90% PC/Windows user, I must say I’m impressed with the longevity of the used/refurbished Mac Mini I bought from Apple Canada on July 30, 2013.
C$679 in 2013 dollars for the following specs:
2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM (upgraded myself some years ago to 16 GB)
1TB HD
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1,536 MB
I have a NexStar hot-swappable HD “toaster” with a 3 TB HD connected to it via USB 3.0.
I have it driving a Benq GW2765 IPS sRGB monitor at 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution.
And I mostly use it for Netflix

Free Cat Toy Feeds, Entertains
Great cat toy for $0.00.
Yumi cut a small hole in the lid of a wee takeout container used for soy sauce or other condiments. The hole is just barely large enough for a piece of cat kibble to pass through.
Sora is learning to bat it around until she’s gotten everything out. Great entertainment for her, and us .
