Thanks for your patience on the night of December 16, 2010 while we shut down Highway 1 to erect this wildlife overpass.”

This photo looks west at one of two new wildlife overpasses on Highway 1 near Yoho Park. This overpass is the westernmost of the two and is located close to the 10 Mile Hill Brake Check. Its girders are 37 metres long.

Wildlife is the number one primary contributing factor to collisions in B.C., so overpasses like these not only protect animals, they save human lives too.

This heron looks quite classical, they look like the European ones. This species is called cocoi heron. I like the surroundings which frame the bird.

Capybara at the water

I like this picture. It shows a capybara at the corner of the river, on a sand bank and with the forepaws in the water.

We found this bird in a kind of forest (jungle?), I like them!
