White Winged Scoter: Happy as a Clam Catcher
What an incredible beast a scoter is! Swooping under the water, holding their breath for over a minute as they pick through the rocky bottom for a prize, then surfacing to swallow their dinner whole, shell and all. Those massive nostrils and flashy bill make for quite a striking profile! #scoter #duck #whitewingedscoter #seaduck

Stellar's Jay: In a giant Corvid Competition, a raven might win the talent section, but Most Beautiful would have to go to the Stellar's Jay. It's such a treat to hear their crazy call from a nearby tree and know your day is about to get a lot cuter. #jay #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #burnabylake #cangeo #sharecangeo

Towhee, striking a noble pose.

Pintail Ballet. Sure, every duck makes this flapping motion in the water, but none do it as gracefully and beautifully as a northern pintail. #pintail #northernpintail #shorebird #waterbird #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #burnabylake #cangeo #sharecangeo

Stellar's Jay: I have wanted to see a Stellar's jay for so long, my mind gave them mythical stature like a griffin or sphinx. I was surprised-and delighted- to see that they are just a pocket sized bundle of adorableness. #jay #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #burnabylake #cangeo #sharecangeo

I spotted the Loch Burnaby Monster on Saturday.

Apparently these are called Wood Ducks because they nest in tree cavities. I always thought it was because they look like they've been carved out of wood and painted with toy soldier paints.
