The first day of our trip north to the Arctic Ocean in Canada started in Edmonton, Alberta. We drove north to Fort St. John, British Columbia. The next day we drove to Fort Nelson.
Driving north west we saw a lot of rolling hills and low mountains as well as large grasslands.
Many of the birds that we saw we typical “southern” birds like this Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
At some of the many stops that we made there were a lot of warblers like the Black-throated Green Warbler on hte left and Canada Warbler on the right.
Along the way we saw our first Western Tanager.
At one stop we found this orchid that we are still working on identifying.
More tomorrow…
