Continuing in Stanley Park

Continuing our walk in Stanley Park we surprised this racoon having a snack.  He gave me a little snarl and we continued on our way.  This particular walk was good for seeing animals of all types and I will continue to post some of my favourites from the park.

Cheers

Walking in Stanley Park

Continuing my walk of the other day in Stanley  Park, I came across this fellow who spotted us from out in the lagoon.  Obviously he thought we had some food.  As he or she got closer, we did reward it with some food.  Hope you enjoy.

A Red Eyed Towhee

Yesterday as I was walking in a nearby park with my daughter and grandson, I came across this colorful little fellow.  I had never seen a guy like this before, so to the internet I went.  He is in fact a red eyed towhee also called "chewinks" for their call and "ground robins" because like robins they are ground feeders.  They belong to the family "Fringillidae" or family of finches.  And now you know!!

Live well and prosper.
