Yesterday, I got a reminder that spiders, wasps and bees are not the only cool stuff to see at Iona Beach! Here is a beautiful Great Horned owl, waiting out the heat of the day under the cottonwoods. The long lens also brings in other creatures:

Cedar Waxwing, probably feasting on elderberries.

A skimmer on its hunting perch.

Herons on the rafted logs in the Fraser River.
