Nara Touching Tiny Green Urchin
I was really impressed they found such a small urchin. Of course, they must start small but when you normally only see adult ones. Tags: Stanley Park

Two Wet Mallard Chicks
I really wonder about Mallard Chicks at Stanley Park. They immediately walk up to people hoping for hand outs - they seem to have no fear. I wonder if they also walk up to predators. Tags: Stanley Park

Marsh Cinquefoil

Beaver Swimming Left
I've wanted to see a Beaver at Beaver lake for a long time - the trick I think is going at the right time of the day - near night. Species: Castor canadensis (American Beaver)

Ring Necked Duck
The classic, I thought it was one species, get home and check the guide books and find out I was totally wrong. Live and learn. Also, not great composition - try getting lower to the water and try to get the eye focused. Species: Aythya collaris (Ring-necked Duck)

This Squirrel had no problem standing on your shoe asking for a hand out, but he didn't hang out for long if you weren't giving. Tags: Stanley Park

Black Grey Squirrel
These Squirrels aren't endemic to this coast but they seem to out compete the local animals. The black versions are more common than the grey ones. Tags: Stanley Park

Ochre Star In The City
Wide angle shallow depth of field has a distinct look to it. Given the contrast here, I'm really impressed with the image. Species: Pisaster ochraceus (Ochre Star)

GBH With Towers Behind
I get a kick out of wildlife this close to the city towers. A real coup for me would be to get an eagle in front of them. Species: Ardea herodias (Great Blue Heron)

You can tell this is a Juvenile because of the two tone bull - orange on the bottom, dark on the top. Species: Ardea herodias (Great Blue Heron)
