Saw this beauty at the Calgary Zoo in the Conservatory. This photo was at #31 in Explore on 26th January 2007.

These White-breasted Nuthatches have large claws to help them when they walk down tree trunks head first! Danny, this is one of YOUR Nuthatches. The highest this got in Explore was #201 on 1st February 2007.

There is a definite hierarchy amongst Black-cappd Chickadees. I often see one chasing off another, but these two little things seemed to be just a bit longer in action. The position of the legs in the top bird makes me smile.

It was only maybe -13C early this morning when I left home about 6:45 a.m.. All day, it has felt SO cold - just three or four seconds without my glove each time I wanted to take a photo and it was excrutiatingly painful! The sun has been shining all day - cold and beautiful. The highest this photo got in Explore was #66 on 4th February 2007.

This little guy was just too quick for me this afternoon! Didn't want to waste the beautiful wing and feet blur! Now, if only I had got the head in as well... This photo appeared in Explore on 4th February 2007, coming in at #360.

This path takes one by the Elbow River that runs through Weaselhead. Sunrise added a pleasant glow to the ice- and snow-covered river.

A moment of rest - such an unusual thing to see with these tiny birds. I am so looking forward to being able to take some brighter, "warmer" photos!

Caught this little Nuthatch in a rather strange pose, but that blue sky from a week ago sure looks good at the moment. This photo is #264 today, 10th February 2007.

This White-tailed Deer was with about four others yesterday afternoon. I just liked the way it tilted its head to feed on a branch. This photo is at #69 in Explore on 11th February 2007. Thanks everyone!
