A joy to see
Yesterday, 2 September 2015, I made myself go on a birding walk with friends at Carburn Park. I tend to miss most of the birding and botany walks and I find it even harder to push myself out the front door when there are far fewer things to see and photograph as we head into fall.
Glad I went yesterday, though, as I would have missed seeing this group of beautiful American White Pelicans, gathered on a gravel bar in the middle of the Bow River. I would also have missed a distant Merlin, perched near the top of a tall snag, and Ospreys flying high over the river - one was carrying a fish in its talons. A few Double-crested Cormorants were flying along the river or standing on a large tree trunk (?) in the river.
Our temperature got down to 5C last night and it's only 12C just after 10:30 this morning. Rain is in the forecast for the next few days.
