I have made it to Campbell River and the storm has hit. I will stay here until it clears the mountain pass north of Sayward.
Fingers crossed, Friday.
In the meantime with dear friends who are helping the process.
I'm doing okay. xoxox

Common Nighthawk. Sayward, #BritishColumbia.
Even at close range, these birds are incredibly well camouflaged. This bird was in a recent clear cut when I accidentally flushed it from two eggs while I was doing songbird surveys.

There is a very small place on Vancouver Island called Sayward. There was also the Cable Café Cookhouse. (Now closed). A place steeped in the history of logging and forestry. The property was accented with relics from the past. #history #saywardbc #Nikon #cablecafe #vacouverisland

It's the B.C. municipality where things have been so dysfunctional, for so long, that some people are talking about whether it should continue to be a municipality.

What this article omits is that the 1924 restrictions were based on racist Eugenicist ideas to favor white migrants. Those restrictions didn’t just reduce migration, they produced a whiter country.
