My dad and I had to run some errands in North Van, today.
We also swung by Mount Seymour, so I could try for a recently-reported flock of Grey-crowned rosy-finches. No sooner had I gone past the upper parking lot than there they were, next to some picnic tables
.
The birds were extremely cooperative. Some of them came within 6 feet of us:

Also had my first Red-breasted sapsuckers of the year, here.
