Seasonal Observations: The Spring Bird Count

63 species of bird was spotted along a 25km stretch of the Pemberton Meadows, on Saturday, for the Breeding Bird Survey of 2013. Reports ornithologist-wrangler John Tschopp, “it was a good turnout and the birds were cooperating. Highlights included a Bullock’s Oriole at the Lillooet Lake Road, a black-headed grosbeak singing above the bridge over 1 Mile Creek and the gray catbirds singing at Riverlands.”
