I’m still not convinced about “sustainable forestry”” in BC…but it was fun to see all the Pine Siskins at the top of this one

Birding by Ear (Part XI)
by Andrew Bryant, 30 Apr 2022
Nine of us gathered at the Italian Hall to marvel at the wonders of spring migration – with an expert.
Iwan van Veen was at the top of his game and I think we had 20+ species before leaving the parking lot. He kept careful track and by days end had recorded 35 species. His eBird report is here.
For me the highlights were the Townsend’s Solitaire, not seeing any smoke coming from the mill!
