While the winter season has had its share of warm days and frosty ones this year, there's always a wild critter to spot in neighbourhoods, on local lakes and in forests in the South Okanagan.
Some area photographers have been busy capturing images of wildlife, from snakes to bucks and birds out enjoying the snow and sometimes the sunshine.
You can submit photos of wildlife you have taken in the Kamloops or the Okanagan this winter, send them to news@infonews.ca.
