That is remarkable considering there has only been 1 other location in the province (Nelson) that has had a sighting in the last 30 days.

A quick look at Species Map in ebird confirms what is mentioned above.
AS well as
Vancouver Island has had 10 or more PAWA recent sightings (in the last 30 days is red-orange dots)
