Canada Birding
British Columbia
Clearwater to Kelowna - June 2006
One of many Rufus Hummingbirds seen at a motel just to the south of Clearwater. A great place for a coffee break. Calliope Hummingbirds were also present as were Pine Siskins (below).
Just two sightings of Black Swift during the trip. This was photographed out of the car sun-roof on the road from Jasper to Kamloops.
The only Wilson's Snipe seen during the trip was photographed from the car on the way to Chute Lake, near Kelowna.
Chute Lake produced this female Brown-headed Cowbird. A rather non-descript bird which had me pondering the identification for a while.
This Tree Swallow was breeding overturned boats at Chute Lake.
A pair of Common Loons (Great Northern Divers) were seen feeding a single chick while on-route from Kelowna to Vancouver. The chick can be seen peering under the water, copying his parents.
Song Sparrows were seen at several locations
This was the only Eastern Kingbird seen during the trip.
