RARE BIRD ALERT
------------------------------

LEAST TERN

On the afternoon of June 5 and the morning of June 7, a LEAST TERN, a
vagrant from coastal Southern California, Mexico, or perhaps from the east
coast of North America, and what appears to be a first record of the
species in British Columbia, has been photographed and now pretty well
confirmed by a number of birders on the oxbows of the Okanagan River just
north of Osoyoos B.C. In search of this bird, take Highway 97 between
Oliver and Osoyoos to Road 22. Road 22 is approximately 10 km south of
Oliver and 6 km north of Osoyoos. Drive east on Road 22 to the Okanagan
River channel. Cross the bridge there and immediately turn right or south
along the east dyke of the river channel. Drive for about 1 km on this
rough dyke road, past a very tall communications tower to the large,
shallow flooded marsh on the east side of the dyke. The bird has been
flying over and plunge feeding into this shallow flooded lake, and often
flying close to the dyke and to the observers there. Further updates would
be appreciated.
