I found the time to do a mid-day drive around yesterday. There wasn’t much on Edith Lake Road but the Rosehill area had a large flock of Snow Buntings busily feeding in exposed soil. The winter we had a couple of weeks ago has vanished and it was pleasantly mild last weekend at around 5-10 degrees. A drive along Shuswap Road from the bridge near the Wildlife Park to the Yellowhead Highway produced the usual Swans, Geese, and other waterfowl.
