A couple of weeks ago, we spent a day touring outside Fernie in the company of local expert Ken and National Geographc wildlife photographer Terry, having various types of deer pointed out to us. Obviously all the local bears are in hibernation, so we didn’t see any of them, and we also didn’t see any cougar or mountain lions, but that was to be expected.

We travelled beside the Koocanusa Reservoir, a 95 mile long lake split equally between BC and Montana. The water level in the lake is extremely low at this time of year, and frozen too, so we stopped for some photos right on the edge of the border with the U.S.

Check out the photos.
