It was a beautiful start to the new year - sunshine and blue skies - and after sitting on the couch watching college football bowl games and the NHL's Winter Classic, Justine and I decide to head out and get some fresh air.
The highlight of the day was the two great horned owls that were snoozing in the trees.
We headed down to Delta to the Reifel bird sanctuary, and wandered about for a couple of hours. There were some great new sightings, some things we hadn't see in a while, and generally, just a great day to be outside.
