The Desert Centre of Osoyoos is home to many species of plants and animals that are indigenous to our pocket desert which is part of the larger Great Basin Desert. The centre provides education and a unique look at Ecology and Restoration of our desert ecosystem via their 1.5 km boardwalk. The staff at the desert centre are highly knowledgable and eager to help visitors develop an appreciation for the fragile desert habitat.Desert Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850211419085491159noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27890210.post-1152209256109345122006-07-06T11:04:00.000-07:002007-01-25T10:59:02.316-08:00<span style="font-family:arial;">This is our new guest book blog.

This blog will be a place for you to visit and see what plants and animals are being sighted around the Desert Centre throughout the year. If you snap a picture some plant or animal during your visit to the centre which you don't see featured or identified, why not forward the pic to us where we can both feature it on our "Ask a Biologist" forum at the Desert Centre website and perhaps post your sighting too. The link for our <a href="www.desert.org">Desert Centre website</a> is also listed at the right of this page. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/1600/whatbirdsmall.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/320/whatbirdsmall.jpg" border="0" /></a> UNINDENTIFIED BIRD </div><div align="center">sighted at the pond</div><div align="center">May 5th<br /></div><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/1600/hummingbirdsmall.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/320/hummingbirdsmall.jpg" border="0" /><p align="center"></a>HUMMINGBIRD</p><p align="center">many 'hummers' are attracted to our feeders<br /></p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/1600/filmcrew.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/320/filmcrew.jpg" border="0" /><p align="center"></a>DESERT ALIVE FILM CREW AWASH IN BLOOMING ANTELOPE BRUSH</p><p align="center">though neither flora nor fauna, </p><p align="center">our filmcrew, from left to right</p><p align="center">Roger Richardson, Video Expert</p><p align="center">Joanne Muirhead, Biologist</p><p align="center">Miles Derksen, Actor/Website Designer<br /></p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/1600/HPIM2334.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/320/HPIM2334.jpg" border="0" /><p align="center"></a>BLUEBIRD AT ONE OF OUR ARTIFICIAL NESTS<br /></p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/1600/HPIM2329.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/978/2945/320/HPIM2329.jpg" border="0" /><p align="center"></a><br />A RABBIT WHO THINKS HE'S HIDDEN BECAUSE HE DOES NOT MOVE</p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Stay tuned for more sightings from our Centre! </span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27890210-114729387119616616?l=desertcentre.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Desert Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09850211419085491159noreply@blogger.com0
