At 9:30 am on June 15-2021, Ryan Tomlinson found a Snowy Plover at the mouth of Mission Creek in Kelowna.
Map to location HERE
Directions: Go to the end of Capozzi Road. There is limited parking. Water levels on the creek are high so be extremely careful walking along the edge of the creek. You then have to cross over a small dock and you will see the sandbars where the plover is through the willow trees. This is not for anyone with mobility issues.
This is the 33rd record for BC and 1st record for the Okanagan.
The bird was last seen on June 17th and was viewed by multiple observers. It has not been relocated since.
