About a week ago I did some birding in the Cariboo region. Scout Island in Williams Lake is always a great place to stop and pelicans are always a highlight.
There were also Veery and Catbirds present.
After, I did some birding in the Chilcotin region. Very scenic region and a lot of areas to explore. Two lakes just north of Riske Creek produced a pair of breeding Semipalmated Plover and Avocets. Other highlights of the area were Wilson’s and Red-necked Phalaropes, Mtn Bluebirds and Dusky Grouse.
A few days ago I birded some areas around Merritt and Princeton. Some highlights included three nuthatch species at Swan Lake. It’s been a few years since I have seen a Pygmy Nuthatch.
On Pennask Lake Rd outside of Merritt were four Swainson’s Hawks and two Horned Larks. The larks were a nice surprise. Wonderful scenery around the Pennask Lake Rd area too.
A lot Mtn Bluebirds, Meadowlarks and Kingbirds were seen on the trip as well.
