Today, with the Okanagan Naturalist Club, I spotted two very late Yellow-headed Blackbirds amongst the hoard of Red-winded and Brewer's Blackbird in Rutland.

Earlier this morning, we spotted the Blue Jay for the third day in a row near our house!
( See picture on BC Rare Bird Alert.ca )

Then, to top it off, ( after the naturalists went their separate ways ), a birder saw a Snowy Owl perched on the bridge across from the City Park! I had to dash down to the waterfront to see it, and I did. I hear the Snowy Owls are common down in the Lower Mainland, but not here! All in all, a great day of birding.

Wow! Great finds Logan! I wonder what else will turn up in the next while across the province?

Thank you Liron!

Any time you get, come out here in the Okanagan!

Hope that BJ stays awhile!

Any time you get, come out here in the Okanagan!

I went to the Okanagan on a birding trip this past Summer, and it is definitely a place I'd like to visit again!

We have spotted many interesting birds at our house including six species of Flycatchers and at least seven birds of prey. In total, I have spotted 75 species alone in our backyard.
The reason being, is that our house is situated on a hill with diverse habitats all around.

Good talking to you!

Today, ( November 20th ), the Blue Jay is still hanging around!

A different Blue Jay has just appeared this afternoon at our house!

That's the third one for Kelowna this winter.
