Despite it being cold and wet, we spent a few hours at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby this morning. We started from Byrne Road and walked east to the meadow, back to Byrne, and then out west to Sussex Creek and back.
Initially it was quiet, but eventually we started seeing lots of birds.
Brown Creeper. I love watching these cute little birds creep up a tree, flutter down to the bottom, and start over again.
My calendar for 2021 arrived today. Last year I made a calendar of Japan photos, and this year I did a selection of my wildlife shots over the course of 2020.
I got five copies made, one for me, one for Yumi, one for Yumi’s folks, and a couple more to share as the opportunity arises.
I roamed Deer Lake in #Burnaby, BC, for a few hours today. It was overcast but the light was lovely. Here’s a mix of scenic views, assorted flora, fungi, mosses, lichens, etc.
Good gosh, but coho in their near-end-of-life spawning colours are gorgeous.
Look at these stunning coho that Byrne Creek Streamkeepers volunteers processed today for species, size, and spawning status in south Burnaby, BC.
Please note that it is illegal to interfere with spawning salmon, so if you come down to the creek to look for salmon, please stay out of the water and on established trails. Thanks!
Look at the tail of this female. It’s worn down to a nub. She worked hard to dig a nest in the gravel and cobble to deposit her eggs. What tenacity. . .
