The annual Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (PWPA) bird walk is Saturday, June 7.
It will be led by experts Markus Weilmeier and James Jansen. They hope to catch sight of a male blue grosbeak that has been seen in the area over the past few weeks. It is rare to see the bird this far north.
According to Wikipedia, it is mainly migratory, wintering in Central America and breeding in northern Mexico and the southern United States.
The bird walk includes two locations, Hardy Falls Regional Park near Peachland, followed by a drive to Glen Lake in the upper reaches of the watershed, with stops along the way.
The PWPA encourages carpooling.
As a bonus this year Jansen will be offering 香蕉视频直播渋n the field香蕉视频直播 photography and camera tips for taking photos of birds and their habitat.
