015 - Step On Me
I now have a hefty backlog of footage between crows being silly, baths, ducks, and a rake of fellas from back home too.
014 - Second Beach Pool Party
Saoirse and I went for a walk up the seawall from English Bay to Third Beach.
013 - Big Yawn
This is Petey Senior. We have a teddy raccoon in our apartment called Petey Junior, they are not related.
012 - Dublin Quay’s Herons
Saoirse and I went walking down the quay to see if we could spot any heron. There’s a lady who comes out each day to feed them, and we arrived just in time for feeding time.
011 - Maj’s Sparrows
I was very excited coming home knowing that Maj (my mother) has always had a few robins out back. I didn't know that since I’d left, the hedgerow had become home to at least 50 sparrows.
010 - NFWMB
On Granville Island again. Saoirse was feeding these guys until we accidentally started a pigeon fight club.
009 - Granville Island Gulls
We were feeling a bit restless after spending a few consecutive days stuck indoors so we went for a wee stroll to Granville Island. The gulls there are extra loud, so we get on well.
007 - Bloedel Conservatory
I’d been living in Vancouver for over a year and hadn’t been to the Bloedel Conservatory. Saoirse told me there were birds and we went the next day.
006 - False Creek Geese
This day a gaggle of Canadian Geese decided it was time to cross the bike lane just as I approached, so I joined the gaggle and headed down to the shore with them.
005 - Ruby Lake Feeding Time
Have you ever noticed that while eating, birds tend to absolutely yeet their food? I have.
004 - Ruby Lake Ducklings
Muscovy ducks have the body of a duck, behaviour of a goose, roost of a chicken and breast of a turkey. However, we still call them ducks, making these some eepy weepy lil ducklings.
003 - Ruby Lake Hummingbird
We had only just arrived at Ruby Lake Resort when we spotted this little guy doing his thing. I wasn't prepared and started recording shaky & overexposed.
002 - Ruby Lake Swallows
These lil dudes were hanging out at the entrance to Trattoria restaurant at Ruby Lake Resort.
001 - Frank, not Dave
This guy is Frank. Saoirse and I call every Chickadee we see Frank, and if there’s more than one, it’s ‘a load of Franks’.
