Fluffy Black-Necked Stilt

[ppreston00]

Drove all the way up to Kelowna for this but it was sooo worth it. American Avocet, Black-necked Stilt, Greater Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, Red-necked Phalarope, Barn Swallow, Cliff Swallow, Northern Shoveler and Cinnamon Teal. Some new ones for the year and some lifers!

Stormy sunset (at Oliver, British Columbia)

Just popped down quickly to Road 22 because someone sighted some American White Pelicans there yesterday, sure enough, there was still one lone bird remaining. Thats a BC lifer for me. In addition a big flock of snow geese flew overhead so that's another one for the year list!

YAY!! Heard the first Poorwill of the year! Now to go catch him! Field season officially begins now!
