The sun broke out today in the lower mainland of BC — a lovely sight after weeks of winter grey. We headed out for the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary but when we got near the entrance, staff were out directing overflow traffic to park back up the road.
While we were happy so many people were out enjoying the wonderful sanctuary, we were not in the mood for crowds, so we thought we’d try Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen, which is another great place to see all sorts of birds.
It was not very crowded at the beach, and once we were out on the raptor trail, there were only a few other walkers around.

I have a DLINK DIR-880L 8-port wired/wireless LAN router. The only issue I’ve had with it is that some WiFi devices will not connect unless I reboot the router. I put up with this for some time before it occurred to me to check the firmware.
Well, sure ’nuff, when I logged in to the router today, there was an update available. In fact my router was running 1.01 and the latest version is 1.05.
I have upgraded to the latest firmware, and will see if it performs better.
I’ve posted before about upgrading firmware in cameras, and I need to remember that all sorts of other devices have firmware that can be upgraded, too.
I spent a couple of hours shooting at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, BC, this afternoon. I saw this cormorant, and it sat on this log for over an hour as I walked here and there, returning to it several times to capture it in changing light.
This is why it’s a good idea to use toothpicks when feeding a turtle. She doesn’t bite on purpose, but sometimes she gets carried away, especially when given an uncommon treat like bits of steamed kabocha squash this evening.
Fortunately she spits out the bits of toothpick that she bites off in her eagerness. Sometimes we feed her treat using chopsticks.
Spent a couple of hours at Iona Beach Regional Park near YVR today. There were lots of bald eagles, flocks of snow geese, a few hawks, and some herons.
