Here are some recent shots from this week at Burnaby Lake & last week, a quick stop in the Okanagan on my way back from my annual road trip east to visit family.
Had to get this gorgeous Mandarin Duck, since like Paul only managed very distant shots of one years ago at Colony Farm!

Here's my most recent Black-headed Grosbeak also from Burnaby Lake - a bit further away then I'd like.

I know this is just a Cowbird, but I like his attitude

Nice set, Debra. I lucked onto the Mandarin Duck early in the morning prior to its presence being well known. Very nice images (so close I had to unzoom) in the morning sun at:

And FWIW, last year a pair of Bullock's nested quite close to the parking lot at Grant Narrows. No more than 100 meters down the path by the lake. Upon an early arrival on my part I caught the female foraging in the parking lot, hopping onto truck beds, trailer hitches, etc.
