We had a lovely stroll in the sunshine at Barnet Marine Park in north Burnaby, BC, this morning.
Saw both Pelagic and Double-crested Cormorants, and a Yellow-Rumped Warbler.

We saw a Northern Rough-winged Swallow at Burnaby Lake today. I think this is only the second or third time that I’ve photographed one. Also a Brown-headed Cowbird.
We were happy to see two small Western Painted Turtles at Burnaby Lake in Burnaby, BC, this morning. In contrast, spotting a couple of huge, invasive American Bullfrogs was concerning . . .
We reported the turtle sightings to the Coastal Painted Turtle Project.
I’m curious that if the “majority of US senators and members of the House of Representatives” were banned, who is in the minority . . . and more importantly, why?
We saw several Anna’s Hummingbirds on our south Burnaby walk this morning.
We watched them passing this bug back and forth, and when I searched online, apparently sharing of berries or bugs means romance is in the air

I had a lovely photo walk in Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC, this morning.

Great Blue Heron taking a fish at a pond in Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC, this morning. Not sure what it got, but perhaps an invasive Pumpkinseed?
Creeping along. . .
Ready. . . Aim . . .
Fire!
Gotcha!

Down the hatch!
