Hello:
Yesterday, September 22/12, John Morgan and I visited Burnaby Lake Regional Park following my discovery on the Birding In British Columbia website of 2 juvenile Green herons spotted there. For those of you who do not have this heron on your Life list, and it's not too difficult to get out there, I recommend you make the effort. Where you can find one or both of these birds is at the end of the pier called Piper's Pier. You may find them on a small island, most likely on the right side if you're facing the lake. Good photography opportunities! The park reminds me of Reifel, Maplewood Conservation Area, and other Regional parks in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland in different parts.
I realize I very recently asked you to answer some questions like, "Where can I find the Sora, Green heron, and others. Obviously, part of that answer has been solved. I have yet to read any of your comments. I look forward to seeing them.
Below is our list of birds found during our 4 hours there. The Hutton's vireo is a Lifer for John and I. The Green heron is my 2nd Lifer. My total now is 223 (BC and Life List).
