Held in an icy grip


On 27 April 2014, the day was spent with a group of friends, driving around Frank Lake, checking to see what bird species we could find. It started off extremely foggy with a touch of hoarfrost. Perhaps not the ideal weather for seeing birds, but the fog did eventually clear and the sun came out. It turned out to be a beautiful day and most enjoyable, with a good number of bird species found - a total of 53 species. All the birds were extremely distant, apart from a couple of owl nests and a pair of Tree Swallows, so my photos are more or less limited to landscape, hoarfrost, etc., all of which I love.
Not completely sure, but I think this seedhead belongs to a Maximilian's Sunflower / Helianthus maximiliani. This is the only location I know of, where this species grows - I believe it usually grows in eastern Canada. Never sure how to spell the name, as some websites called it Maximilan's Sunflower and others use "Maximilian's Sunflower. You would think it would be the latter, going by the scientific name.
