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.

Hawk

On February 12, 2008, I saw a hawk sitting on top of a hydro pole. I was at the Grassland Park in Kamloops, BC.

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.
