A one way 3km trail hugging the east end of the Burrard Inlet. The trail was busy with dog owners, but birds were still to be seen. The Ducks were a bit far – the Burrard Inlet is not a pond – but one can do without a scope. I was treated to a few male Hooded Mergansers in breeding plumage as well as a Red-breasted Merganser. A female Belted Kingfisher with a fish in her beak was smacking the fish body on a tree branch she was perched on. Multitude of Crows gathered just before dusk, probably due to the presence of a Barred Owl. Dusk brought over 3 hundred Canada Geese who were flying west to roost.
