Letting his presence be known


This photo was taken on 5 May 2015, when I went for a drive SW of Calgary. I wasn't able to meet botany friends as the afternoon walk was at a location across the city where I won't drive. So, instead, I decided to go for a more local drive outside the city.
Not a whole lot to be seen - a pair of Mountain Bluebirds, a Red-winged Blackbird, three Swainson's Hawks (in flight), a pair of Red-necked Grebes that were swimming the far side of a huge pond, a Pied-billed Grebe, pair of Northern Shovelers, a Snipe that was heard but not seen, and a Moose that was suffering from a bad case of Tick infestation.
I always feel so lucky to have such amazing places to drive through, more or less on my doorstep!
