Birding @ Lost Lagoon

Vancouver’s Lost Lagoon is a 16.6 hectare (41 acre) body of water, West of Georgia Street, near the entrance of Stanley Park.  It is home to many species of birds, including the lovely Mute Swan, the Canada Goose, the Great Blue Heron, the Bald Eagle, Cooper’s Hawk, the Downy Woodpecker, the American Coot, Northern Shoveler, Horned Grebe, Bufflehead, Lesser Scaup, Roufus sided Towhee and the American Robin.  Although we did not see all of the birds that call the Lost Lagoon home, here are just a few that we did manage to spot:

- The Great Blue Heron
- The Mute Swan
- The Canada Goose
- The Mallard Duck
- The Herring Gull
- The American Robin
- The American Bald Eagle

We also saw several Red-Eared Sliders, sunning themselves on logs floating in the Lagoon. Here are just a few images from Vancouver’s Lost Lagoon:
