Day 2 - June 3, 2016

Once again, we played two rounds of Golf on this day.

The morning round was at Sunset Ranch in Kelowna .It's a beautifule course with many trees and creeeks, but no wildlife was seen.

In the afternoon we returned to Predator Ridge and played the Predator course. This is a wide open, hilly grasslands course with a big water feature in the middle of the back 9. In previous years I have seen Bullock's Orioles near where I took this photo, but it was quite late by the time we got there on this round.

Near one of the ponds, a Western Painted Turtle was on the course. I guess it's well protected from stray golf balls.

Much more likely to get hit were the many Columbian Ground Squirrels roaming part of the course.

I did hear and see some Common Nighthawks on the course but did not photograph them on this night. I'd have better luck on the other Predator Ridge course in a couple of days.
