This is a pretty grim photo as far as quality goes, but, yes, this Clark's Nutcracker is adorable : ) Took it out at Lake Louise, out past Banff, and my friends and I discovered when we got home that when you take photos looking down at the snow like this, ones photos turn out blue. I tried to lessen the blue a little, but not very successfully. It was so cold at the Lake - these grey birds are not usually all fluffed up like this. Later: thanks, Doug, for sending me the info about PhotoShop and white balance. I couldn't see where to find Raw anywhere, but did go back to saturation and removed a little more of the blue.

The Bald Eagle is such a truly majestic bird - though it's a little difficult to remember that, when it opens its beak and calls out in an unfitting, high-pitched screech : ) This one was perched on a somewhat closer branch at the Calgary Zoo yesterday afternoon. giving me a chance to get a few reasonably close shots, not to mention another good look at all his/her fine details.

The gorgeous petals of this tulip make me think of a dancer's twirling skirt. Seen and enjoyed at the Reader Rock Garden. Roll on spring!

I think this is the adult female Snowy Owl at the Calgary Zoo - i.e. Mom. Her three young ones from last year all look like her now. She was exercising her wings for a moment. Happy Feathery Friday, everyone!
