The part I like best about Vancouver (other than the years I got to work with the Orcas, Bjosa & Finna, and the belugas doing voice print/audio spectrum research for the Dept of Fisheries) was the Black Squirrells of Stanley Park. They freak me out just right, watching as I pick mushrooms, chittering as I climb the trees, tossing nuts at me as I flap my arms and fly away....
