After a busy night of hunting


In the morning of 21 October 2017, I went to the Grand Re-opening of the Wild Bird Store here in the city. It is also their 20th Anniversary. Their new location is within my driving comfort zone, so I decided to go.
On the poster for this event, it mentioned that live birds of prey would be there, accompanying a talk from the Alberta Wildlife Institute's presentation. A beautiful 4-year-old Swainson's Hawk, with a damaged wing, was the Wildlife Ambassador.
There were several other talks, one being given by Myrna Pearman from the Ellis Bird Farm and another by Chris Fisher. Both full of interesting information.
Afterwards, I decided to keep driving north, and called in at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. I rarely go there, as it always seems a long way to drive, and I tend not to see many birds when I go on my own. I was happy, though, to see a number of beautiful Wood Ducks and one of the Great Horned Owls, so my visit felt worthwhile.
