Munching on cone seeds
Feasting on cone seeds
Little forest muncher
Red Squirrel
Sweet little poser
Creature of the forest
Cute as always
Soaking up the sun
Happy little muncher
Enjoying seeds and sunshine
Nibble ... nibble ... nibble
Admit it - you think I'm cute
A quick stop on the railings
Watching us closely
A picture of cuteness
Little seed muncher
Freeze!
Watching the watchers
A smile for Christmas
Breakfast time

Bright-eyed little cutie
The forecast was for a rainy, gloomy day yesterday, 28 April 2016. Wanting to keep the next few days free just in case I get time to drive somewhere outside the city, I decided that I would go on yesterday's walk anyway. Thanks, Flickr automated tags, for deciding this was my pet cat : )
We started the birding walk from the Sailing Club and headed west towards Weaselhead. We followed the rough path along the edge of the Glenmore Reservoir and then returned to our cars along the main paved path. We saw a reasonable number of bird species, but everything was too far away for photos, except for a little Pine Siskin who was busy gathering nesting material in the forest. Also, this Red Squirrel was enjoying his cone seed snack too much to immediately run away out of sight.
Will add the final species list compiled by our leaders:
"FFCPPSoc. Spring Birding, S Glenmore Pk, 24 St SE, Calgary, 0915-1200, Thursday, 28Apr2016. Overcast, SE wind 15kph, 4 8°C. Combined results of two groups.
