Birds, Birds – Everywhere
I started my morning at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and after wandering around there taking photos, I stopped at the Sardis Park/Pond on the way home. All the photos are in in one gallery and can be viewed individually (in larger size) if you click on one and scroll through them.
Lots to See at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
After spending most of my life in Winnipeg (commonly called Winterpeg), the amazing weather in British Columbia is such a bonus.
