When I was walking on the Vedder River Rotary Trail, I saw some signs about the Browne Creek Wetlands, so yesterday I decided to head back over there to see what I could find in the wetlands. I turned right and followed the trail for just a couple of dozen steps where the rotary trail… Continue reading Browne Creek Wetlands

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

There are plenty of spots to visit for a walk in and/or near Chilliwack. I know there are still many more for me to discover, but even just going to my usual places, things will be different each time. More & more birds are returning – some just as a stopover before they continue further… Continue reading A Spring Morning at Sardis Park/Pond

It has been awhile since I’ve been at the zoo and it was a beautiful day today to make the trip there. The birds at the zoo are still not on display due to the avian flu. I sure miss my Ostrich buddy. This was only the 2nd time that I’ve seen the Rhino, but… Continue reading Return to the Greater Vancouver Zoo

It has been a few months since I decided I was going to walk the entire Vedder River Rotary Trail and I finally finished it twice yesterday. I say twice because each day I walked, I then doubled my walk because I had to go back to my car. I don’t expect that I will… Continue reading I Did It

I am thrilled to be able to watch all these amazing Great Blue Herons in the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve near my home. Back in Manitoba, I was lucky to see one or sometimes two when I was in Riding Mountain National Park. I usually headed up there 2 – 3 times a year… Continue reading Great Blue Herons are Nesting

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

Moving Right Along

I am now getting close to walking the entire Vedder River Rotary Trail. If I hadn’t taken 2 or 3 tries at the turnaround spot at the bridge, I would have probably finished it by now. But today I was back to walking along the Vedder River, on the opposite side. The parking spot I… Continue reading Moving Right Along

Yesterday I headed back to finally get moving again on the Vedder River Rotary Trail. I don’t know why they used such confusing signs in the bridge location. I had no problem following the trail until I got to the bridge. Well, I did have a little problem when I got to the huge pile… Continue reading More Than 1/2 Done on Vedder River Rotary Trail
