Monday I took the time to head off with the Kaslo and Area Birders. We travelled up good old highway 31 (mostly gravel) along the Lardeau River. It was a much nicer day than this picture illustrates and we had a great day for birding. Mature bald eagles 44; immatures 14. We also saw a great blue heron, a Clark's Nutcracker, several dippers, tons of common mergansers - many of them males, changing into adult plumage - and two cattle egrets in a field full of gulls at Meadow Creek.
