Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: several birds

This was such a beautiful sight today, but something that my photo has not done justice to : (. I spent the whole day with friends, east of the city, in the Irricana/Bruce Lake area for a wide variety of wetland and prairie bird species. We were hoping that we might just be lucky enough to spot the Baikal Teal that was found and seen in this area last Thursday & Friday, but has not been seen since. Most likely, it has moved on. This was the first time it had been recorded in Alberta. On this lovely, mostly sunny spring day, with temperatures between 06-16C, we saw 64 species of birds - a GOOD day, with most enjoyable company : ) Almost every bird was far too distant for photos, I should add : )

Decided to post this photo after all : ) Taken on a sunny, mid-February morning on a walk along the east side of the Bow River in SE Calgary. Actually, perhaps these Canada Geese have a little more "sense" than those humans who take part in a "Polar Plunge"!
