Rolling hills close to home
View from a barn doorway
Made to feel welcome

A splash of colour
Long-tailed Weasel
Red Fox in a mountain location
One sweet, curious female
Ice as far as the eye can see
Northern Pygmy-owl pellet
Old barn on the prairie
A ferocious hunter, popcan-size
Our mountains in winter
Cold, bleak and frosty
A prairie view
How did he get there?
Pileated Woodpecker female
Delicate hoar frost
Temporarily puffed after preening
Gentle and curious
Coyote relaxing in the sun
False eyes
Weathered
A different backdrop
Yesterday's treat
Of days gone by
The prairies in winter
My sincere thanks
Dark-eyed Junco
What birders go through : )
Every creature has to eat
Sunlit peaks
Looking for its next meal
A final goodbye
No equipment needed - just a tongue
How cute can you get?
Sunbathed mountain slopes

Where have all the birds gone?


Yesterday, 23 January 2015, was an overcast, dreary day. Really one that I would probably normally stay home for. However, I just had to get out "somewhere" and hopefully bump into a friend along the way. First of all, I called in at Fish Creek Park to see if there was anyone who had seen any sign of the popular tiny Northern Pygmy-owl. Each person told the same story - no, the owl had not made an appearance at all. I don't know anyone who saw it the previous day, either. I wonder what today will bring. There is so much ice on the ground, people need to be really careful down there.
From the park, I carried on to the backroads SW of the city, hoping that I might come across someone who had just found the Northern Hawk Owl that has been seen very recently. No sign of this owl, either, but I did pass friend, Rob, doing the same thing as me. He had had no luck.
I continued on my usual loop in that area, taking a handful of scenic shots of our spectacular rolling hills and distant mountains, and a beautiful (young?) horse. Not the best shot, but the animal really caught my eye. This kind of day is not my favourite kind of day : ) Really hoping that at least the sun will shine today.
