We started our day at the North 40 Park Reserve in Delta, BC, checking out the eagles, and spotting a Cooper’s Hawk, too.

We then hit the Boundary Bay dyke west of 72nd, and were rewarded with a couple of Northern Harriers. Unfortunately they stayed far off, but I did manage a decent shot or two.

The last stop of the day was a park we’d never been to before — the South Arm Marshes in Delta.

There were lots of Golden-crowned Kinglets in Ron McLean Park in SE Burnaby, BC, today, along with a few Ruby-crowned. Also spotted a Brown Creeper. . .

I spent a couple of hour roaming the Historic Stewart Farm in Surrey, BC. Nice to see both Anna’s and Rufous Hummingbirds, and apple blossoms.

I took an overnight camping trip up the Sea to Sky, staying at Alice Lake.

Yesterday morning I went up to One Mile Lake near Pemberton, and came upon four Trumpeter Swans. I’d never seen swans there before. I guess they were transiting, and dropped in for a fuel up and a rest.

I took advantage of a late work shift to do a Byrne Creek Ravine Park ramble in SE Burnaby, BC, this morning. Lots of birds and assorted blossoms. . .
