Hi, all. Pat & I are in Burns Lake, B.C., for a couple of weeks with her son Nick and wife and grandchild, Ewan, who is 2-and-a-half and keeps us on the go! Burns Lake is 3 hours west of Prince George in central B.C. along the "Highway of Tears" that was in the news during the past few days because of the police search for evidence/clues to the disappearance of one of the 18 dead/missing young women along this road (Highway 16 from Prince George to Prince Rupert on the coast) since the late 1960s. One of the missing women was a tree planter whom Pat's daughter knew in 2002. Burns Lake greeted us yesterday with the calls of a red-necked grebe, and today with calls of common loons. Other than black-capped chickadees, small birds here have yet to be identified. We spent 4 days in Ontario on our way here, first in Toronto and also in Simcoe and Long Point Bird Observatory. At the latter we saw resident and migrant birds being banded -- magnolia and Wilson's warblers, catbird, hummingbirds, young robin, etc. Cheers from Beautiful British Columbia, to quote their license plates, from Pat and Jim from Wolfville.
