Burned Forest Area, Kootenay National Park, British Columbia

This forest had a significant burn 2 years ago. Among the first plants to grow is the lovely rose colored fireweed. So why did Anne and Chuck go there? Was it another one of their weird birding spots? Of course. Burned areas are where one finds woodpeckers and some owls. We were rewarded that day with Northern Hawk Owl and Three Toed Woodpecker.
