Hi all

I saw my one and only for the year, yesterday. We flushed it off the tracks
in front of us at 8:30 pm in the town of Yale in the Fraser Canyon. The
light was so low that the only thing that gave it away was the white
markings on the wings and it's peculiar way of flying.

I've been disappointed this year. Usually, I wind up having them flying over
my house in Maple Ridge but I have seen none so far.

Good Birding
