27 June 2013 British Columbia: McQueen’s Slough near Dawson Creek

This slough is a classic example of an oasis for waterbirds and other marsh birds in the middle of the Canadian Prairies.  It is a birding hotspot east of Dawson Creek.  I took some video of Eared Grebes and a male Blue-winged Teal.
