Winter Birding

The neigbhours have seen them quite often this winter but I finally saw my first Bohemian Waxwings (125) this morning on my walk back from the mail box. It was a small flock of about 20 birds and they looked like they were trying to settle down on a mountain ash tree to eat some berries. The Northern Shrike is back for the winter and I've seen him flying around occasionally. We heard a Great Horned Owl the other night while we were in the hot tub. We might even have seen it as we saw something glide by on quiet wings.

The Castlegar CBC is the Saturday so I'm hoping to add a few more species to my big year then.
