The Waxwings mostly like to gulp down the ripe fruits but
supplement their diet with bugs as an appetizer. The Waxwing is easily recognized
by the yellow band at the tip of tail, generally this is a sleek, crested,
brown-gray bird with a bit of white and pale yellow on belly, and a black
eye triangle that starts from the forehead above the beak and ends behind
and under the head crest. They are migratory, spending winters in southern
USA to Panama.
Ogopogo - Photo art work with a sculpture of Ogopogo overlaid on an Ice flower from Brandt's Creek Park in Kelowna - Created on December 15, 2010.
Friendly, not scary: Sculpted by Peter Soelin in 1960, located in Kerry Park, corner of Bernard Avenue and Abbott Street. I remember playing on this sculpture when I was young - the moat that once held the Ogopogo was once filled with water, but has long since been filled in with cement.
Ogopogo - Known to the Local Natives as Nhaatik, or, the Demon of the Lake. Legends were handed Down by word of mouth about a monster whose home was between Squally Point and the Island. He has to be appeased with gifts or he would churn the waters in fury. Ogopogo was a name given by white settlers in the 1920's.
