Winter birdies

Word on the street told us that Snowy Owls were in town. This was exciting news - as Snowy Owls only migrate through Vancouver from the Arctic once every 7-8 years.

So naturally we went to see if we could find any. We headed South, towards Boundary, which is near the U.S. border.

And I'm delighted to say our trip was an outstanding success. This is what we saw:

Our two foot tall, feathered friend sat happily for hours while we - along with many other tourists - took pictures. I'm pleased to say he had other feathered friends with him too - 23 of them!

We were also visited by many bald eagles (David's favourite). Here's a picture:

Good day all round. The Snowy Owls will be leaving soon to continue their journey, so delighted we got to see them.
