European Starling / Sturnus vulgaris

A group of us had a very enjoyable day on 22 April 2017, driving the roads way SW of Calgary, including the Pine Coulee Reservoir. I absolutely love the scenery in this whole area. I have still never driven it myself, as I know I could very easily get myself totally lost in the middle of nowhere. Almost every bird was seen at a great distance, apart from a Eurasian Collared Dove, a Western Meadowlark, and a Starling. Along one of the gravel roads, our leader stopped for us to enjoy a field of Prairie Crocuses - such a beautiful sight. We were very lucky with the weather that day, especially as the weather forecast for the coming week was for rain, rain, rain and snow.

Pine Coulee Reservoir trip

Much as I had hoped to upload the first batch of photos taken on Day 5 of my trip to Trinidad, I thought I'd better first add several photos taken today, 22 April 2017. Nothing too inspiring, but wanted them for the record. Tomorrow morning, I will add one bright, colourful bird from Trinidad. After the dull colours of today, I need it.
