Park walks

Now that Labour Day has passed, one can walk through the meadows and marshes of Kokanee Creek Park and meet only wildlife.

Below are a few interesting things seen on two recent walks.

Great Blue Herons appeared in trees, water, and air.
This Cedar Waxwing was one of many small birds.

Ospreys have yet to leave; this one watched the fish in the creek.

Although deer are not seen as often as are their tracks, a white-tailed fawn was spotted (chuckle).

Dragonflies abounded. Here is a pair of mating darners. The male is the bluish one.

An adult Bald Eagle patrolled the mouth of the creek,

while two juvenile Bald Eagles sat in a tree overlooking the creek.

The most satisfying picture taken was of a juvenile Bald Eagle circling overhead.
