We started off the day by walking the Savona access road that follows along the shore of Kamloops Lake. About halfway along there's 2 old cottonwood snags where Lewis's woodpeckers nest every year.
Not a good photo but proof of sighting of the Bird of the Day!
There were loads of western tanagers in the cottonwood,
But who could tire of western tanagers?
Even if the branches and foliage are sharper than than birds? I also saw Wilson's warblers and an orange crowned warbler in the same tree.
We walked by the Savona pub
complete with wagon wheel and cattle skull decor,
an ancient lilac tree,
more lilacs in full bloom,
and a blossoming apple tree.
We ended up at the city park and boat launch where we saw horned grebes in their breeding plumage.
On our way back we spotted a golden-crowned sparrow in somebody's yard.
