I wonder how she is

I wonder how she is
When I went for a short drive SW of Calgary on 12 June 2013, I noticed this beautiful Red-necked Grebe sitting on her nest way off in the distance. I wonder what has happened to her and her babies during this horrendous time of flooding, that has destroyed so much of southern Alberta in the last few days. Everyone in Drumheller (Badlands east of Calgary) and Medicine Hat (closer to the Canada/US border) will now be receiving this massive body of raging water. My thoughts are with them. Yesterday, Calgary's Mayor announced that it is OK now for people to go grocery shopping, or to church, but we are still supposed to stay off the roads. Downtown Calgary is still closed till Thursday at the earliest, and all schools in the city remain closed.
