In addition to the previous post of eagles and hawks at Iona Beach Regional Park near YVR, I also shot lots of other critters.
There were dozens, or perhaps hundreds of these wee frogs chorusing in one of the ponds. The iNaturalist hive mind says Northern Pacific Tree Frog.

Great Blue Heron takes a fish in a pond in Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC.
It was a bit of a battle as the heron scooped some debris along with the fish, so it carried the fish over to an island and dropped it to get a better grip.
Spring is definitely in the air as Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC, greens up.
More blossoms are appearing in south Burnaby, BC, and birds are becoming more vocal.

It was a gorgeous day for a walk around Rice Lake in North Vancouver.
We have coho fry!
Yumi spotted one yesterday, and about half a dozen today.
I ran down to try to get some photos. It was pretty dark in the ravine already and I had to boost the ISO way high so not the best quality.
Yeehaw!
