A group of Peachland residents were happy to see a flock of swans on Okanagan Lake yesterday and it turns out the B.C. Interior is part of the birds migration pattern.
Lynda Brown, from Peachland, snapped a shot of swans on the lake yesterday, Feb. 3, and gathered more than 70 positive reactions to the image she posted to Facebook. Brown has lived in Peachland for six years, but has never seen swans in the area before.
Chris Charlesworth, who owns Avocet Tours, an Okanagan bird-watching company, said both trumpeter and tundra swans can be seen on Okanagan Lake and in the Interior in the winter. They tend to fly into the area in mid-October from the north and hang around until March.
