Downy Woodpecker at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park
Had a great time photographing this Downy Woodpecker on the trail at Fraser Foreshore Park in south #Burnaby today. Folks being good to maintain physical distancing.
Someone had left a pile of mixed bird seed on a downed tree, and the Downy was picking up sunflower seeds and stashing them in cavities in nearby standing trees.
Great Blue Heron Fishing in Fraser River
Great Blue Heron fishing from a log boom off Fraser Foreshore Park in SE #Burnaby today. I’d say it was batting around .700 . . .
Down the hatch!
Physically Distancing Canada Geese
Overheard this little tiff down at Fraser Foreshore Park in SE #Burnaby, BC, this morning:
“Hey you honker, you’re not physically distancing!”
“Fine, I’ll get my own piling. Sayonara, baby!”
Kestrel, Crow Harass Red-Tailed Hawk in Burnaby, BC
Kestrel and Crow taking turns harassing a Red-Tailed Hawk, #Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park this morning.
Unfortunately I didn’t have Big Bertha along, so these are rather grainy super crops, but still kinda cool. . .

Post-dinner walk in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC.

Anna’s Hummingbird
Thrushes, Hummingbirds, and Tree Huggers in Burnaby
We took a morning ramble around SE #Burnaby. Did the Byrne Creek Ravine Park trail, had fun spotting salmon fry in the creek, and saw several thrushes and Anna’s Hummingbirds. Not much people hugging going on these days, so hugged a cherry tree in Taylor Park :-).
South Burnaby Blossoms
Blossoms in south #Burnaby shot on, and from, our balcony today:
Barred Owl on Byrne Creek in Burnaby, BC
We heard a Barred Owl on our pre-dinner Byrne Creek walk in south #Burnaby today. It sat for several minutes before swooping off.
Thankfully I was carrying a DSLR and quickly set the ISO to 3200 and even 6400 in the poor light. My pocket cam would have really struggled with this.
Doing the horror movie head turn 🙂
