Return to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

Posted in Activities, birds, duck, Geese, goose, heron2 Comments

I have been taking photos all summer long, but for some unknown reason, I just posted them on my facebook page. The biggest disappointment on this walk was that the Vedder Rotary Trail is closed and has been for most of the summer. They are working on it, but not sure what they are doing.… Continue reading Return to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

After seeing the adorable Great Blue Heron chick on my last drive over to the reserve, I knew that I’d be back on the next sunny day – so that is where I went yesterday. The above Mourning Dove and the below Spotted Towhee were both very co-operative & the Towhee even allowed photos with… Continue reading I Had to Go Back to the Great Blue Heron Reserve

A Quick Stop at Sardis Park/Pond

Although I usually get to most of my favourite places to walk in nature each week, I have not been able to get to them for the time my car was on vacation in the Vancouver area. So, when I left the Great Blue Heron Reserve and had to pass Sardis Park/Pond on the way… Continue reading A Quick Stop at Sardis Park/Pond

Sardis Pond is a Busy Place

Sardis Pond has been pretty quiet over the winter. Although some birds stayed, most went somewhere else. Some of the birds there today might stay for the summer and some of them might head further north after taking a break here. I needed a short and easy walk after yesterday’s longer than usual one, so… Continue reading Sardis Pond is a Busy Place

Spring at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve seemed like a great place to go for a walk yesterday. The ice is mostly gone, but on some of the little ponds where there is no moving water, there is still a layer of ice. I didn’t test to see how thin the ice was. Mallard Ducks and… Continue reading Spring at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

Did Someone Ask for Canada Geese?

I didn’t ask for Canada Geese, but I certainly enjoy watching them gather. I’ll be sorry to see them head south, but will be here to watch them when they return in the spring. I managed to get a few photos other than Canada Geese – Mallard Ducks, Grey Squirrel and a scenery shot –… Continue reading Did Someone Ask for Canada Geese?

I love finding new places to walk, but always enjoy returning to my favourite spots too. Yesterday, it was time to return to Sardis Pond. Last time I was at this pond, there were hundreds of Canada Geese but this time, I could count the total numbers of them on one hand. Before leaving home… Continue reading Walking Around Sardis Pond

Just a Few Canada Geese

Canada Geese (& a few Snow Geese and ducks) have begun to gather where they can discuss their summer with friends & relatives before heading south for the winter. I was told by one of the regular walkers here that the numbers will increase to thousands (instead of just a few hundred) before they move… Continue reading Just a Few Canada Geese
