Nature Bay Wildlife Sanctuary in Salmon Arm, BC
This morning we drove to a place to have our morning walk. We parked on the street in front of a huge home on the edge of the lake and marsh where the Nature Bay Wildlife Sanctuary gate was located.
The path was well traveled as we found out later.
On the left was the lake and marsh and on the right was the CP Rail main line through the valley. When we pasted through the gate there was a Ring Necked Pheasant walking the line as only his head was visible.
Further down the trail there were signs of last year cattails breaking into seed fluff. The big house can be seen in the distance.
The Red Wing Blackbirds were everywhere. Their calls sounded like cell phones ringing but no one answering.
A beaver pond was in the middle of the marsh with a boardwalk that ran right to the lake and through all the cattails. The photo below shows the beaver dam with two levels of water.
There was one lonely Mallard in the pond.
There were also monsters living in the water.
Remember the rail line I mentioned earlier, well here is the noise that broke the silents. As it was passing it stopped and waited for another one coming from the other direction.
The nature walk must be close to the local coffee shop or everyone drives here after stopping to get their special morning fix.
So until next time remember to "Discover It and Live It".
