No equipment needed - just a tongue
A final goodbye
Looking for its next meal
Sunlit peaks
Every creature has to eat
What birders go through : )
Dark-eyed Junco
My sincere thanks
The prairies in winter
Of days gone by
Yesterday's treat
A different backdrop
Weathered
False eyes
Where have all the birds gone?
Red
Rolling hills close to home
View from a barn doorway
Made to feel welcome
A tiny, ferocious hunter
Do you see what I see? Look very closely at the w…
A splash of colour
Long-tailed Weasel
Sunbathed mountain slopes
Concentration
Banana Tree trunks
Precious
Red Rock Coulee, US
Northern Pygmy-owl with Meadow Vole
Old Rambler
What do I see?
Fairly well preserved
Those piercing eyes
Fun in the hay
Well-fed Northern Pygmy-owl
The challenge of photographing Snowy Owls
Partial Leucistic Red-breasted Nuthatch
A place of peace and beauty
Northern Pygmy-owl
Thank you all so much!
Rest in Peace, Fiona, our daughter
On the way to pure whiteness
Snowshoe Hare in hiding
Sharp-tailed Grouse
Happy New Year, everyone!

How cute can you get?


THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS FOR HELPING TO MAKE THE LOSS OF MY OLDEST DAUGHTER, FIONA, EASIER TO BEAR! YOU HAVE ALL MADE SO MUCH DIFFERENCE THE LAST 13 DAYS! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. Hard to believe that when tomorrow comes (the day of Fiona's Celebration of Life service), it will have been two weeks since she passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.
It's the little guy/gal again : ) This photo of the tiny, popcan-sized or fist-sized owl was taken a week ago, on 10 January 2015, in Fish Creek Park. It was sitting among a tangle of branches, and though I was able to get a clear shot of it, it was fully zoomed and then cropped. Looks OK at this size.
"The Northern Pygmy-Owl may be tiny, but it’s a ferocious hunter with a taste for songbirds. These owls are mostly dark brown and white, with long tails, smoothly rounded heads, and piercing yellow eyes. They hunt during the day by sitting quietly and surprising their prey. As a defensive measure, songbirds often gather to mob sitting owls until they fly away. Mobbing songbirds can help you find these unobtrusive owls, as can listening for their call, a high-pitched series of toots." From AllAboutBirds.
