Vancouver wildlife (as opposed to "Wild Life")

For a winter month I've seen quite a bit of wild life recently. It started with a racoon scratching at our back door several weeks ago.


















Then the knocking of a woodpecker caught my attention in our back lane.







The familiar, although somewhat eerie, call of an eagle pulled my gaze up to the treetops in Surrey's Bear Creek Park recently.


I've seen two Great Blue Herons in recent days; one in Elgin Park in South Surrey, and the other at Canada Place, on the wharf where the cruise ships tie up.










And finally, a seal in False Creek yesterday.
