Northern Pygmy Owl

Posted on February 25, 2016 by W.H. SIM

This gallery contains 4 photos. The one bird I especially hoped to see over the BC Family Day 2016 long weekend was one I almost missed — and then the crowd of birders and photographers we happened upon alerted us to Continue reading →

House Finches

Posted on February 4, 2016 by W.H. SIM
