Tuesday - Jasper

Well. Going north certainly did the trick. Sunday night in Banff, the low was 37. Monday night in Hinton, outside Jasper, the low was 61. Balmy weather. Borderline internet, but it’s too nice to leave. We’re going to explore here for a few days before we reestablish contact with the outside world.

No birds at the KOA, but Jasper was nice and birdy. Started off with a common loon and a bald eagle on the drive to the National Park. Took a walk around a lake, Lac Beauvert:

Lots of little birds in the forest, but none of our target birds yet. Guess we’d better go back tomorrow.

Meanwhile, we left Annie in the coach and Miles from the KOA staff watched her for us while we were in the National Park. I think Annie spent most of her time at the office and riding around in the golf cart.

It gets dark late here. It’s not really dark until 9:30. It stays light really late in June. In June, the sun sets at 11:30.
