iN PHOTOS: Different kinds of creatures spotted in snow in Kamloops, Okanagan

It was a warm, snowy weekend in Kamloops and the Okanagan and lots of birds and wildlife could be seen out enjoying the winter weather. 

Area photographers caught different kinds of wildlife on cameras, including a lynx in the southern Okanagan, a tree full of magpies in Vernon and curious deer with snow on its nose in Logan Lake. 

We'd love to see your winter wildlife photos, so if you have have any to share, send them to news@infonews.ca
