Day 11 - Sept. 22 Drivingdrivingdrivingdriving

We drove a huge distance on this day. We went from Kelowna to Oroville (WA). We had 2 encounters with birds that gave us much pleasure and made the drive worthwhile. We saw a Bald eagle sitting in a tree next to the road and above a small stream. No photos, but we liked seeing it. Then, a few miles down the road, Ivan pulled over to let some vehicles pass us and we saw 7 Ruffed grouse eating weed seeds right next to the road and in front of our car!! They weren't bothered by big trucks roaring by or by us opening the door of the car for a better look. Two very cool birds on a rather testy day of driving.

It's now 10PM and I'm getting pretty tired. I have some neat stories about the Inn at Molson and about what we saw today. My sister Doggie Divas will like the story from today - it's about a bird that we know well! That'll have to wait for tomorrow!
