Grouse Mountain (sort of)

So today I went over to North Vancouver with the intention of hiking Grouse Grind, a very challenging uphill hike nicknamed "nature's stairmaster."
Well it was closed due to winter conditions. Needless to say I was fairly disappointed. I did manage however, to find some cool birds and wildlife on the long walk back to Lonsdale Quay where I caught the Seabus back downtown.
I managed to get some cool recordings of a Northern Flicker and a House Finch, which I may share when I get back to my pc at home. I also got a recording of Violet-green Swallows.


A wolf in a wolf reserve on Grouse Mountain...just chillin


A Varied Thrush. There were so many of them!


Definitely one of my favorite birds
