On June 8, 2008, I saw this robin standing right on my front lawn. We are in the midst of putting new sod on our lawn so the area the robin was standing in was quite wet. He didn't seem to mind this one bit. Robins are a sign that spring is here.

Wildflowers
On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. There are always lots of wildflowers growing within the mountains. I am amazed that anything grows in the rough mountainous terrain but it does.
Starling
On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. I saw this starling sitting right on the very top of the mountain. The mountain is probably 100 to 150 feet high, not a very tall mountain by any means, but tall enough. The starling has some grass in her beak for her nest.
Woodpecker
On May 15, 2008, the woodpecker was sitting in the hole that she had made in the tree This woodpecker had dug the hole so big that it had actually tore the branch right from this tree.

Woodpecker
On April 10, 2008, I saw a woodpecker in a tree in my backyard. This woodpecker pecked a hole in the tree big enough for it to be able to sit in. I'd be pretty sure the woodpecker has a nest in the hole.
Hawks
On March 23, 2008, I went for a walk in the mountains and I saw these two red-tailed hawks soaring right above my head. It was really awesome watching them. They would stop flying in mid-air and let the air take them away.
Easter Bunny
On March 22, 2008 I went to Kelowna, BC and I was so excited to see the Easter Bunny. However, the funny thing was, the Easter Bunny wasn't handing out any chocolates or Easter treats. He was eating instead. Hmmmmm, oh wait, I know, he was just taking a break. After all, he's got lots and lots of houses to deliver to. So, don't worry, you will get your Easter gifts.
Woodpecker
On March 21, 2008, I saw this beautiful woodpecker sitting in a tree right in my yard. He sat pecking at the tree for quite a while and I noticed lots of wood chips lying on the ground right underneath this tree.
Mountain Sheep
On March 14, 2008, I saw the herd of mountain sheep again on Ord Road, Kamloops, BC. They looked like they were enjoying the warm sunshine.

Mountain Sheep
In this picture you can see many members of the herd. Mountain sheep travel mostly in herds but are also known to stay by themselves too.

It looks like the herd of mountain sheep that I saw were enjoying the bright sunshine and the warmth of spring.

Hawk Flying
On February 12, 2008, I saw this hawk flying right above the mountain. He was awesome. This was at the Grassland Park, Kamloops, BC. Hawks are very nice looking birds. I have seen several hawks since moving to British Columbia 2 and a half years ago.
Meet Homie
On February 10, 2008, I went to see the new place that I am going to be moving into and I met Homie, the stray cat that lives there. I got to pick Homie up and I'll tell you he weighs more than a 10 lb. bag of potatoes. He is a big cat. I thought Kitty was big but Homie is much bigger. Homie is a cool cat and I can't wait to be a part of his life and for him to be a part of mine.
Meet Kitty
This is Kitty. She is about nine months old and is a pretty neat cat. I do have to be careful not to leave anything laying around that is important because Kitty has been known to take a $10 bill from the table and hide it under the couch.

Double Treat
On January 31, 2008, I saw not one but two bald eagles sitting in a tree in Valleyview, Kamloops, BC. This was a very rare treat indeed. I have seen one bald eagle several times sitting in this tree but very seldom do I get to see two of them at once.
Cows in a Circle
On January 13, 2008, I went for a drive in the Grassland Park, Kamloops, BC. I saw this herd of cattle in a pasture. They are standing in a circle and it looks like the reason for that is because they just got fed. I've never seen this before where they get fed in a circle like this but then again, I am originally from Ontario. In Ontario our cows there were always fed in a straight line. Hey, maybe that is why beef in BC tastes so much better!
Magpie
On January 13, 2008, I went for a walk in the Grassland Park. I saw this magpie sitting in this tree. The tree was located right beside a railway track. Magpies are kind of spooky birds. They have white breasts and very long black tails. They are on the list of birds I don't much like. Crows are on that list as well.
Bald Eagle
On January 10, 2008, I saw my bald eagle sitting in his tree. It was a very cold day and I guess he was just resting. Whenever I see my bald eagle in his tree, he does seem to sit there for quite awhile.
