Photograph taken at  an altitude of Three hundred and forty four metres, at 16.56pm on Tuesday 10th September 2019  off Clement Avenue and Water Street on the wooden decking on the shoreline of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, British Columbia in Canada.

The White Siberian Goshawk (Accipiter Gentilis Albidus), also known as the 'Northeastern Siberian Northern Goshawk',  is a subspecies of the Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) which is found in in  Kamchatka and Northeastern Siberia. It integrates in the West with the Central Siberian subspecies 'buteoides' between the Lena and Yana rivers. The 'Albidus' goshawks are large in size with lighter colouration of white and light grey, and yellow eyes and beak.

This particular bird was being walked along the sea front decking by it's proud and knowledgeable guardian who was acclimatsing the bird of prey to it's surroundings and subsequent interactions with humans.
