Muskrat Just Out Of Water
I've seen a muskrat only once before - in lighting lake at Manning Park. This one got out of the water, looked around and then got back into the water.

People first spotted this bird across the river. The binoculars crowd is generally happy having seen a bird - the photo people crossed the river and got closer to get a useful image. We didn't get close enough to scare it though - a crow came by and literally chased it off it's perch.

These birds didn't like people much - the white crowned sparrows at the garden we go to will and within meters of you - these birds like 20+ meters.
