Local residents...
Bert had Ethel hopping mad. He showed up empty handed... She ruffled her feathers, stood up, deployed her massive wings, hopped up and down on the perch, then turned her attention to Bert and squawked at him till he left

Coyote (Canis latrans)Observer
guerrichacheDescription
Seeing this was a truly remarkable experience. I know coyotes can swim, but I never expected to witness one swimming, let alone swimming through cold ocean water in the dark.
It came from beyond the bridge pillar, so I can't help but think it might have crossed over from the nothern shore of the inlet; given where it landed, that would have been a swim distance of at least 480m. I suppose it's also possible it took a swim out of Stanley Park and then decided to turn back.
I've posted two of the videos I took here:
Swimming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icCRHBDeP6k
After landing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOC3dDlRiPk
The times on the camera I used were 1 hour off because I still haven't updated it for DST.

Genus CampylaephoraObserver
bclarkstonDescription
Low intertidal, on rock.
Tetrasporophyte phase, tetrasporangia present.
Identified to C. gardneri because there are ecorticate (lacking cortication) region between nodes, branch apices are forcipate (crab-claw-like) and tetrasporangia appear to be in whorls around the main axis.
Taxonomic note: Used to be in the genus Ceramium (Ceramium gardneri), but was recently moved to the genus Campylaephora.
