He's a little beauty


We are having such amazing, sunny weather at the moment - so different from the recent Arctic blast that hit us hard. So, having missed almost all the birding walks with friends in the spring and fall, I pushed myself out the front door yesterday and joined them for a leisurely walk in Fish Creek Park.
I left them shortly before the end of the walk and called in to see if there was any sign of the little Long-tailed Weasel that I had seen three days earlier, on 13 November. A few friends had the same idea, so it was nice to have people to talk to while we watched and waited. We were lucky enough to see the little Weasel and I was able to get a few shots. The first time the Weasel appeared, my camera wouldn't function at all and I missed some good chances. Thankfully, I discovered that I had accidentally moved a small lever on the side of the camera to a different position - so easily done at any time, but especially so when wearing a pair of fleece winter gloves over a pair of thin knitted gloves! The local Black-capped Chickadees and this little White-breasted Nuthatch kept us company while we stood and waited.
