I, like GMcD, got busy with miscellaneous other things. haha. However, I was able to get out this morning and found a couple of birds to add to our list (which I will update immediately following this ...) Here is a Ring-necked Pheasant I saw while driving over towards Roberts Lake in Kelowna.
I saw several varieties of ducks on different ponds, but most of them have already been posted! However, here is a Redhead (male/female) (for you Judy!)
Finally, here's a pair of Californial Quail (male/female) from the House. I didn't think we had the pair yet ...
Enjoy! James

There is a significantly higher chance of encountering this bird there. Considering all the above, I conclude that I will have to wait at least another half a year to catch this bird...
