Cemetery wildlife
Yesterday, 27 May 2015, I had a volunteer shift and afterwards, as the sun was shining, I called in at the Reader Rock Garden. There is rain in the forecast for most of the next 12 days, which will drive me crazy, so I thought I'd better make the most of the blue sky while I could. Alberta is bone dry everywhere, with wildfires especially further north. Actually, one was burning near Water Valley the day after my daughter and I were there three days ago. So, much as I really dislike the rain, we desperately need it.
Right next to Reader Rock Garden is the Union Cemetery, where I photographed this American Robin. The Jack Rabbits and birds spend time in both places, needless to say.
From the Union Cemetery, I also called in at another nearby cemetery, hoping to find a Wild European Rabbit (none to be seen). There are several bird feeders there, especially by one of the gravestones. I always wonder if the person who was buried there had been a birder. Seemed such a beautiful idea.
My last stop was at a wetland in SW Calgary, where I found a Common Grackle. Normally, I just don't see Grackles, but I had seen one there recently, and I'm always happy when I do see one.
