Thought i'd share some of the more memorable birds
from our recent BC road trip, it was fun but honestly, i imagined
Dawson Creek and Fort St. John a bit differently in my head than
reality, no slight to the beautiful region but i probably need to go
much farther north next time to get the tundra landscape 
Basically, we hit up Kamloops, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Jasper, and Cranbrook.
I found Jasper to be devoid of birdlife for the most part although other wildlife was plentiful, granted, i didn't stop all that often while driving through.
Loads of driving and a shortened trip due to attempting to drive down a farmers dirt pathway to a lake in Fort St. John and getting hopelessly stuck in mud, the tow-truck etc. cut into my budget and when the Creston Valley was soaking wet due to rain we decided to head back, without hitting up the Okanagan either, as planned.
Another time for that.
Red-necked Grebe - Kamloops
Evening Grosbeak - Kamloops
Mountain Bluebird - Kamloops
Magnolia Warbler - Prince George
American Redstart - Prince George
Eastern Phoebe - Dawson Creek
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - Fort St. John
Black-and-White Warbler - Fort St. John
Sora - Fort St. John
It was soon after this that we got hopelessly stuck in the mud trying to get to a lake and had to be towed out.
Thankfully i got one of my target birds afterwards, softened the blow somewhat.
Upland Sandpiper - Fort St. John
Calliope Hummingbird - Cranbrook
Great Gray Owl - Kamloops
