Vancouver is sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean (or more accurately, the Strait of Georgia) and the Coast mountains. It is not uncommon to spot a bald eagle while sitting on a downtown patio. Nor is it uncommon for hungry bears to wander into backyards in search of a little snack. This fellow was either from out of town, or trying to fit in with the waves of tourists flowing up and down Robson Street. I thought it best to keep my distance.
