Our trailer manufacturer, Escape Trailers, was hosting a rally in Osoyoos, BC May 25-28, 2017. We decided to take the opportunity to attend and extend the vacation up to Jasper and Banff national parks and back home through southern BC. Following are some pictures taken at the rally and some fauna encountered in the area.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jim. I wish I had taken more pictures of people.
ReplyDeleteNice I love that shot of the Ruffed Grouse displaying! Ilya and I had one doing this at Manning Park in may I just love the sound they make. You got some great Warbler shots especially that AMRE!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was happy to see that Grouse in display. Except for a few drumming and very skittish this was the first time I had seen one just strutting around. Thanks Mel.
