Great Blue Heron

Calgary is under a Winter Storm Warning (27 April 2019). "Hazardous winter conditions are expected. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow." Early evening, wow, we have such a snowstorm - almost total white-out, with blowing snow! I don't know how anyone can see to drive. I don't look forward to looking out of my window in the morning.

Tonight, I decided that I had better post a handful of photos that I have taken locally since I got back from our Texas trip. I would much rather have not interrupted the Texas images, but it could take me many weeks/months to get the trip finished. Photos taken on a drive south of Calgary still need to be edited and added and I might see to a few of them before I restart sorting and editing shots from Day 5 of our birding trip way down in Texas.

I had a lovely encounter with this beautiful Great Blue Heron on 14 April 2019. A walk with friends in a local park went just a bit too far for me, so I said I was going to turn around and slowly head back to my car. With a swoosh this Great Blue Heron flew in and landed just ahead of me by the creek, giving me a nice chance to watch.

Actually, I had just got into my car ready to drive to the location for this walk, when around the corner of my home came a sweet Jackrabbit. Of course, I just had to stop and take a quick photo.
