Winter Birds in Burnaby Lake: Chickadees, Towhee, Junco, Golden Eagle

 The chickadees in the winter in Burnaby Lake are extra friendly because they know the only way to get food is from our hands:


So cute and soooo small.  They love sunflower seeds!


There are lots of dark eyed Juncos that day, more than summer.  They are not used to people and feed from the ground.


Song Sparrow are shy, and they feed from the ground.


Towhee:  They also eat from the ground, far away from humans.



This humongous golden eagle caught a poor inmature crow and ate it in front of us (up on a tall tree).

Kind of yucky but the bones kept falling down in front of us.  Animals can be cruel but it is the food chain, and they all have to survive.
