American Robin male
I guess I haven't posted any photos yet from a morning birding walk at Carburn Park, on 21 May 2017. Last week, I went on two walks at that location, as I had missed walks the previous two weeks. Not a whole lot to photograph, but I was happy to catch an American Robin each time. Such beautiful, but rather overlooked, birds.
One of the first things I saw was a Comma butterfly that landed on a tree trunk - love the shape of their wings. Soon after, we came across a family - a very large family! - of Canada Geese. We counted at least 20+ young ones, so this must have been the family with which some abandoned or orphaned goslings had been placed. The youngsters totally ignored us, they were so busy feeding near the edge of the path. A large group of American White Pelicans, standing on a gravel bar in the middle of the Bow River, were a pleasure to see. The Fire Rescue Boat flushed them as it sped down the river.
Carburn Park is always a nice place for a walk and a sunny day always helps. The sound of three Baltimore Orioles hiding in the trees was a lovely addition. Glad I actually saw one on my previous walk there.
