Hey everyone,

I’ve got some cool photos for you this post. I went to Prince George recently to visit some family and saw some awesome animals along the way which I managed to capture fairly well!

Along the highway, just south of Merritt, BC. I spotted this mountain goat across the river valley and up in the mountain. Upon returning back home I asked a skilled conservation officer I know to see if he could identify it for me. He told me this goat is a young Billy (Male), and probably around the age of three. Pretty cool to see this guy, I haven’t seen any previous to this one.

Here’s a cool Image I took of my spotting scope and camera attachment. It was a neat take at this goat, seeing it through my phones camera like this gives it an almost 3rd person view. the photo I used above this photo is practically the same as what my phone was seeing, so it gives you a couple different perspectives.

And to wrap up my quick trip up north, once we had gotten to Prince George we had a lovely welcome home by the Whiskey Jacks. These birds are a super tame species found throughout most of BC. Even wild ones like this guy are tame enough to grab trail mix out of your hand, they will join you at the picnic tables and even inside the tent sometimes! They are one of the largest songbirds native to BC and have been found in places as far as Mexico.
