Okanagan Live Cam

The British Lion and Crown are symbols of the British Empire. The large "O" is for Osoyoos. The Elk and Rocky Mountain Sheep are a symbol of British Columbia. The Sun emphasizes the Sunny Okanagan, and the mountains are the Chapaka range. Also shown within the big "O" are the orchards and Osoyoos lake. Clustered around the bottom of the crest are some of the fruits grown in the valley, including Grapes, Cherries, Apples and Peaches. The Dogwood blossoms are British Columbia's flower.

Osoyoos is paradise to bird watchers. Unusual and captivating wildlife can be viewed at the marshes at the head of Lake Osoyoos (turn right on Road 22 on Hwy. 97 North). You'll be amazed to see Canada's smallest hummingbird, bats, canyon wrens, sage thrashers, and brewer's sparrows. And if you're lucky, the rare chukar partridge may be seen (the cry "chuk chuk" may be heard but the bird is seldom seem, yet never forgotten).
