Lynn Canyon and Suspension Bridge 林恩峡谷及吊桥

Located in North Vancouver, Lynn Canyon Park is a forested area known for its trails, waterfalls, and the iconic Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge. The 50-meter-high suspension bridge offers a thrilling crossing over a deep gorge, surrounded by old-growth rainforest. Unlike the more commercial Capilano Bridge, Lynn Canyon's bridge is free to access and also has fewer visitors. For more information: https://lynncanyon.ca

林恩峡谷公园(Lynn Canyon Park)位于北温哥华,是一片森林区域,以步道、瀑布以及标志性的吊桥而闻名。林恩峡谷吊桥(Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge)横跨深谷,悬于50米高空之上,桥两侧环绕着原始雨林。与更商业化的卡皮拉诺吊桥相比,这个吊桥是免费的,人也更少。详见:https://lynncanyon.ca

Birds in Vancouver(Osprey)-Vol.18温哥华鸟类 (鱼鹰)

There are several pairs of ospreys nesting and raising chicks by the Pitt Lake, and you can observe male and female birds and chicks. On that day, I took photos of the ospreys returning to their nests after catching fish, as well as the chicks' very interesting behavior.

Pitt Lake湖边有数对鱼鹰在筑巢育雏,能够观测到雌雄成鸟以及雏鸟。当天,我拍到了鱼鹰捕鱼回巢的照片以及雏鸟十分有意思的行为。

Birds in Vancouver(Cormorant)-Vol.16温哥华鸟类 (鸬鹚)

Alone the shoreline of Vancouver, you could see some cormorants from time to time. I have spotted two species of them, Double-crested Cormorant and Pelagic Cormorant. They will stand on a rock in the middle of water to dry their wings, and I saw 2 of them fighting for the place.

沿着温哥华海岸线行走,偶尔能看到一些鸬鹚。我见过两种:双冠鸬鹚和海鸬鹚。它们会站在水中央的岩石上晾干翅膀,我还看到两只鸬鹚在争抢这个位置。

Birds in Vancouver(Swallow)-Vol.14温哥华鸟类 (燕子)

I saw three barn swallow chicks sitting together on a branch by the lake. Later I discovered that they were waiting for their parents to feed them, so I took this set of photos.

在湖边的一个树枝上,看到三只家燕的雏鸟坐在一起,后来发现它们正在等待亲鸟喂食,故而拍下了这组照片。
