The weather was fine for our trip to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain and we all had a great time. After the trip to the top and back down again in the cable car, we also drove to the ski resort. We recorded the following new birds and mammals:
Capilano
Brown Creeper
Raven
Hairy Woodpecker
Douglas Squirrel
Grouse Mountain
Dark-eyed Junco
Townsend’s Warbler
Pine Siskin
Steller’s Jay
Vaux’s Swift
Chestnut-backed Chickadee
Yellow-pine Chipmunk
Black-tailed Deer
After a quick drive before the light ran out to the ski resort at Cypress Hill to look for Grouse (not a lot was seen, but we had great views of Vancouver), we finished the day by returning to Stanley Park at dusk to give Michelle views of the Racoons and have more fish and chips! Here we also added Gadwall and Little Brown Bat.
