This is an American Robin, rather different from our English ones. He was singing at the campsite. The Similkameen river ran along the edge of the campsite. it had been very cold in the night , but the sun soon came up and after breakfast we drove up to the cascade View point. The Mountains were in the mist but the views were wonderful . We made friends with the little Golden mantled squirrels in the car park and soon they were climbing all over mattie to get the Nuts and ginger cookies. We also saw our first Whiskey Jack. These Gray Jays are very tame and will eat out of your hand. We also saw The Clark's Nutcracker, with his long beak which enables hime to get the seeds from the Pine cones. We spent a couple of hours here admiring the scenery and feeding the squirrels before heading further west . We still Have a long way to go before we reach the Rockies.
