Users of the KVR Trail in Okanagan Falls will notice a new feature near the start of the trail by Lions Gardens.

A new sign, 鈥淏irds of the Okanagan Falls Waterfront,鈥 features pictures of 24 of the more common birds in the area and the time of year they are most likely to be seen.

The project was initiated by Bob and Sheila Daly of OK Falls in conjunction with the South Okanagan Naturalist Club, who had pioneered a similar project in Penticton several years before.

The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen completed the installation. A second sign will be installed near the Spit once its reconstruction is finished.

The Dalys are pleased to contribute a gift that will add to the enjoyment of the beautiful community of Okanagan Falls for visitors and residents alike, they said.
