Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: P1380212 FZ28

I'm running late with posting today : ) Spent a couple of hours this afternoon shooting Coots. Yes, Coots - but it felt SO good to finally see any kind of bird close enough to photograph it. And I like Coots, LOL. Also saw Scaup, Ruddy Ducks, Northern Shovelers, Yellow-headed and Red-winged Blackbirds (too far away) and the usual Canada Geese, Mallards, etc.. On the way home, I called in to see the family of Great Horned Owls in Fish Creek Park - a relief to see three little fuzzy heads sticking up above the edge of the cavity. Our recent rain, snow and very strong winds had not harmed these little guys, thank goodness. This brilliant yellow and orange plant is growing in the newly opened butterfly room in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. One of the many species that butterflies love, but I haven't identified it yet .... the story of my life, ha.
