Eastern Kingbird, SW of Calgary
After editing and posting so many scenic shots recently, I needed to post something different, to remind everyone (and myself!) that I do also take bird photos, even close ones. Amazingly, I was able to edit and post these 11 photos this evening in one go, instead of having my computer freeze five or six times and having to find and reload all my files. It felt so good! I suspect it was simply pure luck, though I did do a Quick Scan and then a Full System Scan ths afternoon. Only two low-risk things came up and I fixed them. I don't think these had anything to do with my computer constantly freezing, though.
A friend had invited me to go with her on 7 June 2018, to have lunch at the Delta Hotel in Kananaskis Village, and it felt good to breathe the mountain air. Of course, when I do go on a rare trip to the mountains, I go in search of birds, wildflowers, scenery - anything beautiful - so this outing was different and something I would never do myself. We both had to admit afterwards that the food was not good at all and the price was way beyond what was deserved. I suddenly remembered that I had read several reviews online before we went and they had said exactly the same thing. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, I should add.
On the way home, I decided to drive back via my 'usual' area, to see if any of the Mountain Bluebirds and other species were out and about. This Eastern Kingbird posed very nicely for me, long enough to get two or three shots.
