way' PIB & snpink'tn yesterday was quiet, shopping cart and make shift cover along the river channel. Campers up by the fish bypass, spoke to them and they moved but did leave a gift.
Coyote pup near his den, bald eagle over head and Great Blue Heron blocking the channel path near RedWing while hunting.
Today went up to the Burrowing Owls and have 6 chick's in site 744, sites 741 & 743 still have 16 warm eggs in there between the two. Very exciting.
Drove out on the KVR and out to Shingle creek all quiet, a little littering. Sure green and lush out there.

Found a fellow camping out on lot 115, spoke to him and asked he remove his stuff and fill in the holes or I will do it.

way' PIB & snpink'tn. Big thanks to our PIB Public Works, they picked up a couch that was dropped off on Old Airport rd, who does this kind of thing?
I got a message about a Badger hit just north of the rock slide on highway 97, well he was there, a big male in the middle of the highway. Picked him up and followed with prayers and a sage offering. He will go to BC Badger society to see how healthy he was.
Owls are well, no more new eggs, saw 2 adults, photo of one.
Campers on the south end of skaha, he was moving, slowly...
Picked up one bike today, a few cans, overall not bad.

Watched a bird harassing a Bald eagle, Shingle creek is up after the rains.
The land at the end of Okanagan ave is doing so well with nobody in there after all those camps we removed last year. Ellis creek sure got dirty as well.
way' a great day on the land.

way' PIB & snpink'tn starting today off with ms fuzzy bum from yesterday, they moved on which is good. Trash along the channel and at the end including 2 floaties. I pulled up and asked AIM if I could park at the Warren Ave detour and grab the trash out of the river, he was super cool about it. With trash there is beauty as there are poppies growing there, kinda cool. Wish I could have walked the channel parkway and do a trash pickup while it was shut down today.
Somebody dumping their dirt out by the old highway, foreign dirt may have invasives in it, take your dirt to the land fill.
Owls are doing great, one more egg so we are at 23 now! Its a sea of blue up there with all the lupine. I went to SORCO and picked up more food for them today, lim limpt Lauren Meads. There are 2 Great Horned owls in rehab there, both are doing great!
way' a great day on the land.

Drove to Summerland and Shingle creek, light rain that way. skem'xest bear out on Marron Valley checking Starz and me out. sin'kyp, coyote bothering a male Pheasant, fun to watch as well a couple of sla'cheena, deer in the cottonwoods.

way' PIB & snpink'tn the channel looked good, a few cans was all. There is a small sink hole under the Green Ave bridge, this will be addressed quickly. Found a brand new pair of shoes, I will donate them somewhere tomorrow.
Went up and fed the owls, 21 eggs now, all warm so thats great news. Later in June they should be hatching.
Watched an Osprey catch a fish today, very cool. Found a lone asparagus which was a nice treat. Pretty quiet day overall.
way' a great day on the land.

05/23/2026

way' PIB & snpink'tn today I got the mess picked up by Westhills Aggregates, rude people. Speaking of which there was a white van parked on Green Mtn rd who was going number 2 in the bushes. I confronted him, asked him to do that on his own land, pretty gross.
A bunch of tires in the lower village picked up. Went out to Summerland checked around, found an old antler and the ant pile at speetlum flats is busy. Moved a Gopher snake off the channel and saw a big family of geese.
way' a great week on the land.
