I had to drop off my daughter at a friend’s house in the Westsyde area and had several hours before I had to pick her up so I took the time to explore this area of Kamloops that I confess I rarely get to. I birded along Westsyde Road with a 8 km detour up Jamieson Creek Road until the road became too slippery.
