Today, I volunteered at the Vancouver Aquarium and I really enjoyed teaching the grade 1 students about marine adaptations. If you ever have a chance to volunteer at the aquarium, you should. It is amazing and very awarding. But, I am not here to talk about the aquarium. I had some time before my shift and as it wasn’t raining which seems unusual in a Vancouver winter. I decided to to walk around Beaver Lake to see the animal you would expect to see at a lake called beaver : an otter ( that right I am still team Otter) I was told there was a family of otters living there and did I see them? No . They must have been on a cofffee break when I walked by. Oh well, it was still a beautiful walk and I am glad I did. It put a smile on my face. Saw lots of ducks and squirrels ( I think the lake is squirrel central). 1 Downy Woodpecker seemed to pose for me. To bad I did not have my camera with me. I guess I will just have to come back with my camera and maybe the otters won’t be on coffee next time.

So whatt have you seen at Beaver Lake?
