It was an interesting day for a walk in Kokanee Park. I saw: a heron, a woodpecker, and a black bear.
A Great Blue Heron in breeding feathers (unlike the pre-breeding plumage show earlier).

I have rarely managed a Pileated Woodpecker flying. This one is male.

The best observation was a fishing black bear in the spawning channel.

Thanks for the photos.
As always…..EXCELLENT PHOTOS!!
The Pileated is STUNNING! Thanks for sharing.
You keep getting wildlife sooo amazingly well…thanks much!
The crane, wow.
Yer a “wing man”.
The best I can do with these is to say “Ditto!” to Steve’s comment! Absolutely stunning!
Oops! Sorry for the error…I meant Stuart, of course.
