Animals in Vancouver (Coyote)-Vol.05温哥华动物 (郊狼)

While walking in the Stanley Park near Lost Lagoon, I accidentally encountered a coyote posed in an amazing way. I did not realize it exist at the first time, so I want to thank the other photographer who spotted it first and pointed it out for me. Without him I would absolutely miss the photo. I think this maybe my best wildlife photo so far.

我在斯坦利公园Lost Lagoon附近散步时,意外碰到了一只站位绝佳的郊狼。我一开始并没有注意到它的存在,所以要感谢另一位先发现并帮我指出的摄影师。如果没有他,我绝对会错过这张照片。我想这可能是我迄今为止最好的野生动物照片。

Sunrise & Sunset in Vancouver-Vol.02温哥华日出日落

All photos from Stanley Park and UBC’s beach. They took around 20th of June which day has almost the longest daylight in a year. Especially the time lapse video, it compressed about 1 hour of sunset into 1 minute. I didn’t realize that the tide could go up so fast and had to walk through quite deep water to retrieve my camera.

所有照片均来自斯坦利公园和UBC的海滩。拍摄时间大约在620日,这一天几乎是一年中白天最长的一天。尤其是延时视频,它把大约1小时的日落压缩到了1分钟。我没想到潮水涨得这么快,最后趟过海水才取回相机。

Birds in Vancouver(Northern Harrier)-Vol.13 温哥华鸟类 (北方鹞)

A male northern harrier was found hunting in a farmland near Tsawwassen and Delta. Northern harriers glide low most of the time and observe from a distance. After landing, they forage for food on foot and hunt by listening, which is different from most birds of prey. The number of males is far less than that of females and young birds, so there are fewer opportunities for visual identification.

Delta靠近Tsawwassen 附近的农田中,发现一只正在捕食的雄性北方鹞。北方鹞大多数时间滑翔低飞,远距离观察,落地后靠步行觅食、耳听捕猎,与多数猛禽不同。雄性数量远少于雌性与幼鸟,视觉辨识机会较少。

Birds in Vancouver(Green Heron)-Vol.12温哥华鸟类 (绿鹭)

There are rarer, more discreet than their cousin blue herons, with a different color and a shorter neck. I think there are more than one of them, maybe a family, but they were away from the shore.

比它们的近亲大蓝鹭更稀有、更胆小,颜色不同,脖子也更短。我觉得不止一只,也许是一家,但它们当时远离河岸。

Birds in Vancouver (Virginia Rail)-Vol.10 温哥华鸟类 (弗吉尼亚秧鸡)

I saw a family of Virginia Rails (Rallus limicola) at Tsawwassen Causeway Beach, with an adult bird and about three chicks foraging. This bird is not very rare in general, but it is indeed rare in the Greater Vancouver area.

Tsawwassen Causeway海滩见到了弗吉尼亚秧鸡(Rallus limicola)一家,一只成鸟带着3只左右的幼鸟在觅食。这种鸟不算十分稀有,但是在大温哥华地区确实比较少见。

Birds in Vancouver (Eagles)-Vol.09 温哥华鸟类 (鹰)

Also, neat the Heron Habitat in Tsawwassen Causeway Beach, there were a lot of eagles lase Sunday noon. I am not sure they were trying to attach herons or doing something else, but it was unbelievable to see so many eagles showing up together.

另外,周日中午,在Tsawwassen Causeway海滩的苍鹭栖息地附近,有很多鹰。我不确定它们是想抓苍鹭还是在做其他什么,但看到这么多鹰一起出现真是稀奇。
