We saw a Northern Rough-winged Swallow at Burnaby Lake today. I think this is only the second or third time that I’ve photographed one.  Also a Brown-headed Cowbird.

We were happy to see two small Western Painted Turtles at Burnaby Lake in Burnaby, BC, this morning. In contrast, spotting a couple of huge, invasive American Bullfrogs was concerning . . .

We reported the turtle sightings to the Coastal Painted Turtle Project.

We saw several Anna’s Hummingbirds on our south Burnaby walk this morning.

Great Blue Heron taking a fish at a pond in Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC, this morning. Not sure what it got, but perhaps an invasive Pumpkinseed?
