A calm morning in a shallow part of Wascana Lake, with the shorebirds hanging out together, grooming or thinking about breakfast.

Waterfowl cruising on Wascana Lake, made more visible as the sun rises higher and becomes stronger.

Waterfowl gather in an area of Wascana Lake known as The Basin, as the sun begins to rise.

Watching these waterfowl - ducks, gulls and pelicans - congregating together on a shallow spot on Wascana Lake reminded me of the poem Parlement of Foules by Geoffrey Chaucer. They seemed content to hang out together on a warm afternoon.

Waterfowl on Wascana Lake in Regina watching as the sun rises. Most of these birds would soon migrate south as the temperatures cool.

A swan in the waterfowl park at the urban park in Regina. The waterfowl are habituated to human visitors, so they remain relaxed when photographers come around.

Another view of a sunrise over Wascana Lake, as the resident waterfowl begin another day. The concrete structure on the right used to be a bridge abutment, and is now a man-made waterfall, in the summer, when the pumps are working.
