Down by the lake


Towards the end of May last year, I went on an outing south of the city for a few hours, down to Frank Lake. This is a great birding area, which I don't see very often. I had never seen so many Yellow-headed Blackbirds before (a lot more than seen in this photo) - was a wonderful sight to see them all gathered in one area. Not the greatest of photos, but gives an idea of what I saw. Though they are common in Alberta from April to September, I very rarely get to see one. I remember the first time I saw one, maybe three or four years ago. I had never even heard of these birds back then but had just seen a beautiful photo posted of one on the Weaselhead website. Next day, I was walking near a tiny swamp in a local park and there, amongst the Red-winged Blackbirds, was this magnificently coloured, lone Yellow-headed Blackbird.
