Birds, Birds – Everywhere

I started my morning at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and after wandering around there taking photos, I stopped at the Sardis Park/Pond on the way home. All the photos are in in one gallery and can be viewed individually (in larger size) if you click on one and scroll through them.

Lots to See at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

After spending most of my life in Winnipeg (commonly called Winterpeg), the amazing weather in British Columbia is such a bonus. I wandered around at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve a couple of days ago and was thrilled to see that the Great Blue Herons have picked their nests and their mates. I don’t… Continue reading Lots to See at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

A Brisk Walk on a Chilly Day

This is my 2nd winter in Chilliwack after my move from Winnipeg, Manitoba (sometimes called Winterpeg, Man Its cold. It was quite mild here last winter (my first B.C. winter), but I think some of the Manitoba weather has now found me. I can’t complain too much, since there is no snow on the ground and… Continue reading A Brisk Walk on a Chilly Day

A Stroll along Vedder River

My first walk in 2024

I Walked the Whole Trail

Since I moved to B.C. about a year and a half ago, I have been walking quite a bit. I have several favourite places to walk, but there is one that is a little over 18 km to walk. I have walked it all – but not in one day – until Yesterday! I wasn’t… Continue reading I Walked the Whole Trail

Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles

Obviously these birds are not friends – but they do have an interesting relationship that I was not aware of when I arrived here last summer. Back in Manitoba where I spent most of my life, I would see Bald Eagles on a regular basis, but very seldom saw Great Blue Herons. I would always… Continue reading Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles

A Sunny Day

After a few days of rain, the sun finally came out to brighten things up and I decided to check in on the Herons at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. Of course, I have to check in on any other birds and critters while I am there also. According to Google, “Herons lay 2–5… Continue reading A Sunny Day

Another Wander at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

I love Great Blue Herons, but there are so many more birds and critters there that I also love. There are also many more places on my list that I will have to get to as well. Along with the birds and critters, there are amazing views almost everywhere I look. But, for now it… Continue reading Another Wander at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

Walking in the Rain at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

I knew that the path that went by the Heron nesting area would be closed, but decided to go over there and see if I could see any birds on the nests yet. I have a good zoom on my camera and was sure I’d be able to zoom in enough to see. It turns… Continue reading Walking in the Rain at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

Catching Up

It has only been a little over a week since my last post, but it has been a busy few days. I was afraid that I had lost all the photos on my last walk, but luckily (since I was uploading on a pc that I hadn’t used in months), the automatically delete option was… Continue reading Catching Up
