Spring Ducks

10 Comments

The Penticton mallard duck flock has weathered the winter in good knick and are getting ready to start nesting.

In December, the duck flock was huddled together for warmth and were not only waiting for dinner, but also for this wet snowfall to melt. They are fed during December and January.
Still hanging out in their favourite spot near the creek, but in much better weather this time.

The males’ heads have turned a brilliant green, indicating that they are ready to mate. Soon there will be lots of little ones around.

Happy Wednesday.

Mount Robson Provincial Park

16 Comments

Mount Robson Provincial Park is in British Columbia just west of Jasper National Park. It is the most prominent peak of the Rocky Mountains and is completely surrounded by park lands.

The entrance to Mount Robson, also known as Cloud Cap Mountain. On our recent drive, the mountain was wearing its cap.

When we drive from Northwest Territories to Penticton, we often stop at Mount Robson to stretch our legs although we have never stayed there. The walking/hiking is amazing.

Happy Tuesday.
