In typical Red-tailed Hawk fashion I was allowed seconds to grab this shot before it took to the wind.

Other than the Long-billed Curlew these were the only birds on Blackie Spit itself. Further back in other areas there were an abundance of crows and some song birds.

I came across this Red-tailed Hawk just off the road sitting on a power pole. Looking close at it's eyes you can see that the lid is partially closed, but vertically not horizontally.

I suspect as the trees leaf out more it will become more difficult to catch sightings of the Pileated Woodpeckers at Burnaby Lake Park. it was difficult enough to catch this one as it worked it's way up the tree until it stopped to preen for a few minutes. It was quite exciting to see it in flight just before it landed in this tree, I had never seen the white under it's wings before.

This Scaup spotted me from a distance and made a bee line for me. I suspect she thought I would feed her.
