Given that this weekend was sunny and warm, many of Stanley Park’s animal residents came out to enjoy this fantastic weather. The shores around Lost Lagoon are arguably the most active as many waterfowl and critters scavenge it for food or simply call the lake home.

With a little patience and a 55-300mm zoom lens, I was rewarded with scenes of nature in action. Families of Canada geese with their goslings, swans building up their nest to protect the eggs, ducks plying the waters for food, and turtles bathing in the bright sunshine. View the rest on Gallery.

A family of geese cross Stanley Park Drive. A gosling tries to scratch itself while taking a break looking for food. Two dragonflies are either in the midst of reproduction, or some-sort of silliness.
