Richter Pass near Osoyoos BC

The last target bird on our three day tour. The bird was about 50 meters above us.

These birds were introduced into BC in 1940. They are elusive, unlike the native Quail. This was a lifer.

One of the target birds on our second annual Okanagan Birding tour. Much better lighting this year. The bird was still about 60 ft above us, so cropping was required.
