At 12pm on Sept 10-2025, Daryl Calder found a juvenile Little Blue Heron along the shoreline of the Kootenay River in Wardner. The bird was first identified as a Great and Cattle Egret due to long distance views but photos obtained on Sept 11th by Helen Diakow et al. show it to be a Little Blue Heron.

The bird is best viewed by scope from the pullout HERE or HERE on Laurier St.
This is the 5th record for BC.
The bird continues as of 7pm on Sept 11th and has been viewed by multiple observers.
At 7:30 pm on Sept 11th, the bird flew high and south down the river.
The bird continued in the same location on Sept 13th.
**The bird has not been relocated on Sept 14th or 15th, despite multiple observers looking.**
