I've just launched a new birding app with a complete list of the birds of Vancouver Island.

I saw my first bighorn sheep and lots of harriers and ring necked pheasants.

You must be an amazing person !<br />I am a teacher in Vernon, B.C. and also have a blog about an innovative school you might find interesting - www.vernoncommunityschool.wordpress.com<br /><br />If you would ever like to visit the Okanagan, I have a friend who lives on a bird sanctuary situated on Kalamalka Lake - Bishop's Bird Sanctuary. I would be very happy to connect you with Aaron and Laisha. You could also visit our school as a special guest - sharing your learning with us !<br />I hope our paths will cross one day.<br />Best wishes,<br />Kim Ondrik<br />kondrik4@hotmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053296174857406246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115892741912166254.post-21046349891627304242017-01-07T17:58:42.085-08:002017-01-07T17:58:42.085-08:00Thank you.

Congratulations all around for your ability to speak so naturally before a nationwide radio audience, to observe and describe your experiences so vividly and for speaking out about your compassion for the wildlife suffering from climatic instability. Keep up the travelling and speaking about it. I lead bird photography tours along Lake Ontario. It's snowy owl and bald eagle season beginning. Come join us for spring warbler migration in May!
