Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Sikome Lake area

A little House Wren that was flitting around in the Sikome Lake area of Fish Creek Park yesterday afternoon. A rather dull day and, as usual, my camera struggled to perform in poor light. However, I think s/he is fit to post : ). House Wrens are uncommon to common in Alberta from May to early September.

After the Zoo, I called in at a local park to check on "my" Great Horned Owls (two of them were sitting together in a Spruce tree). Took a few quick shots of the Black-capped Chickadees that flew to where I was standing, thinking they were going to be fed. Makes me wonder how I got some good shots last winter - this is going to require lots of patience, especially when it is COLD out! Had to give up this afternoon when I could no longer feel my fingers. It's supposed to be getting down to -15C tonight.
