 I was in Aldergrove east of 264 today surveying for frog eggs and heard an American Bittern call once. I saw it there on the 20-MAR-14 as well. When I arrived this morning there were 4 Greater White-fronted Geese with a pair of Canadas and a pair of Mountain Bluebirds on a post and a wire when I left around 3:00 pm. I just made a fast trip up to 103 Mile House to pick up my mom. There were Mountain Bluebirds scattered from Spencs Bridge to 100 Mile House. I also saw one Northern Shrike and only one American Kestrel. Spring is working it's magic. Denis |

Love those white-fronts Denis. One of my favourites and nice pics too. Looks like you were quite close.

Sorry you can't see the area where the geese are. I would try the field along 272nd Street.

I have just received a photo of a male Calliope Hummingbird that was taken at the GBH Reserve sometime today. My friend wasn't sure just what it was. It may just stick around for a day or so.

birder, I answered you earlier but my post seems to have gone AWOL. Calliope's move through in small numbers enroute to the Interior each year. Denis Knopp up at Ryder Lake seems to get the most that I know of but I have had them at my place in Agassiz for the last 3 years always in May.
If you would like to see the pictures that Ed Fleming took, contact me at: btmline@shaw.ca and I will send them to you.
Thanks,
Murray

birder, no it hasn't been reported to ebird. I know it should be but I'm not too sharp with these computer thingees!

picking up on the start of your post Denis about surveying for frogs eggs I was a the corner of Peardonville and Mt Lehman when I heard a lot of male frogs croaking, there was a small pond there full of frogs.
