Corona, Birds on Boundary Bay
Spent a lovely Sunday afternoon down in Tsawassen on Boundary Bay.
Driftwood on the beach
An amazing corona around the sun
Yumi examining the wee creatures
Blackbird taking off
A wren of some sort - marsh?
Heron in flight
These birds are so cool. They seem to come from another
era, with their ungainly flight and raucous vocalizations.
But they are very efficient stalkers and killers, as they have
to be to survive.
When I startle a heron, I often feel a "velociraptor" chill down
my spine, and I'm happy that in this stage or our evolutions, I'm
a lot bigger than they are :-).
