October 2017
This Bobcat showed up in Connie Posen's backyard around twilight and stayed long enough for her to snap a few photos!
A couple of recent sightings near the store. A Barred Owl (left) was found snacking on a rat behind the dumpster and a Douglas Squirrel (right) inspects our seed delivery.
A Douglas Squirrel wasn't busted by Marie Pringle's Squirrel Buster peanut feeder! That's ok because this is our native squirrel species.
Melinda Straight has some lovely photos of two very different nests. The photos were taken back in August of 2016 North of Gold Bridge, BC.
Hummingbird Nest (top row); Osprey Nest (bottom row).
Some more photos of Ben Clifford's cable system for hanging his bird feeders.
This Easten Grey Squirrel has found a way inside Harold March's squirrel-proof suet feeder. Although, this feeder has seen better days and has even survived being squashed possibly by a bear.

This leucistic Spotted Towhee was spotted by Eve Geulen. It has been showing up at her feeder since June!

Ben Clifford set up this cable system to hang his bird feeders out of the reach of bears in his yard. To do so he used a braided stainless steel downrigger line, approximately 10m long an with a turnbuckle at one end. He also used standard downrigger hardware to position the feeders without kinking the line. Obviously his birds don't seem to mind the new setup one bit!
