A FEW THINGS CAUGHT MY EYE ON OUR WALK MARCH 2, 2026.

Canyon Wren.

Canyon Wren. At first I thought he grabbed a big moth but on the screen it looks more like a leaf or piece of lichen. Maybe for nest building?

A REGURGITATING BALD EAGLE.

We spotted this eagle off in the distance while driving home from Peachland on Saturday. I turned down a frontage road where I took my mountain goat photos Friday that got us a bit closer. While taking a few shots, I thought it strange how far over he was going with his mouth open. Then all of a sudden out popped something. The rest of the photos were taken in Okanagan Falls.

EXCITING NEWS FROM THE ART GALLERY!

You may remember that I mentioned a while back about having one of my framed prints accepted in a juried fine art photography exhibition at the Peachland Art Gallery. Yesterday I went to an open house at the gallery which was a mixer for artists and volunteers to meet and discuss the photos. This afternoon Aileen and I went to the official opening. The exciting news is that my photo has already been sold, the only one so far!

For today's images, the pheasant was taken last Wednesday, the duck and Flicker last Thursday and the Mountain Goat yesterday on my way home from the gallery.
