Went to the east side of Burnaby Lake last Wednesday. There was a great variety of birds, mostly songbirds but also some waterfowl. In total I saw and/or heard 37 species.
I heard persistent begging calls and eventually spotted a Downy woodpecker nest:

Also came across this unusually-small goose:

I can't tell if it's a Cackler or just a smaller Canada.
Some Wood ducks on a piling at Piper Spit:

This was my first visit here. Definitely want to come back in Fall.
