It’s #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay

Owls are nocturnal predators that have many unique adaptations to help them hunt for prey in the dark.

Can anyone guess how many owl species we have in the Okanagan?

Happy #WorldSnakeDay 🐍 The Great Basin Gopher Snake is the most common snake found at ABNC and the largest snake in BC. Although it is non-venomous, it often gets mistaken for the Western Rattlesnake due to its similar colour, patterns, and behaviour when threatened. #ABNC
