Loosely grouped, here are some of the beautiful birds that have been sighted in Midway, B.C. Please add to the collection, sharing your own photos of local sightings. We love to recieve new additions to the bird gallery, but you can also send us your great shots of species already shown here.
Let us know, whenever possible, what month/year you made the sighting, and where (general location). We also invite corrections and suggestions on identification. With fast-moving little birds, identification can seem more like art than science (especially for those of us new to birding.)
Each week, we post new arrivals at the top of the page, and eventually move them down the page to their own general category in the gallery.
