Nighthawk Border crossing road near Osoyoos BC.
I had hoped to see Lark Sparrows on this road but had no luck with them. I stopped for lunch off the road and noticed a bird that looked a bit like a flicker out my window. I got out to check and was rewarded with this lifer, a Sage Thrasher. This is near-desert habitat, so they are seen here

Near the Keremeos Cemetery. The road they were about to cross was isolate, so I was the only observer. You can see the worry on the parents' faces.

Near Keremeos BC
I count 14 chicks here, one of them had real trouble keeping up. It's no wonder there are so many of these birds in the Okanagan.

Vaseux Lake Boardwalk, Oliver BC
A bird I'd seen once before in 2012 for about 2 seconds. This day I had tracked some at Road 22 through Poison Ivy but only heard them. Later in the day I made a late stop at this site. It was heavily mosquito infested but as I was leaving I heard the now familiar sound. This one appeared in the open above me and I snapped off about 5 decent shots.
