We saw a duck we didn’t recognize at Barnet Marine Park in north Burnaby today. Turns out it’s a Long-tailed Duck, confirmed by the hive mind at iNaturalist. Cool!
Also spotted a few Goldeneyes, a Great Blue Heron, and a Cormorant.

Brooding Bridge, Birds, Berries in SE Burnaby, BC
I walked from Edmonds Skytrain Station in SE #Burnaby to 22nd St. Station and back after lunch. It was quiet, only a couple of Anna’s Hummingbirds (one at our feeder and one on the trail), a few robins, and assorted sparrows in Taylor Park.
There were some lovely colors to be found in berries and leaves along the way. . .

Feeling Squirrelly in Central Park, Burnaby
We were feeling squirrelly and needed to stretch our legs, so we walked from our place at the east end of #Burnaby all the way to Central Park at the west end of Burnaby and back.
According to Google Maps, it was about an 11 km ramble.
We hadn’t walked Central Park in a few years but the fluffy-tailed rodents welcomed us back. They are fed constantly, so can be pretty aggressive.
