Yesterday paulos and I headed out to the Matsqui trail. Among the hundreds of Cackling geese were about 50 Snow geese, the first ones I've ever seen in the Valley. We also heard a pair of Western meadowlarks in a stubble field.
Afterwards, we went to the Heron Reserve in search of the Swamp sparrow that's been hanging out along the dyke trail. We heard it calling from among the grass across the slough, but it was too shy to come out. It wasn't until we were on our way back to the parking lot that we finally got some good scope views. This was a lifer for me
