Adult Ferruginous hawk

I had been planning a visit to Manyberries for sometime, little break in extended Alberta winter presented an opportunity last weekend. Pakowki Lake in South Eastern Alberta is a great destination for birdwatchers, I met up with my dear friend Jerry Herzig an expert birder and an exceptional photographer, Jerry is an encyclopedia of Southern Alberta Wildlife. I was accompanied by my buddy Boreal impressions, unfortunately there was no activity at LEK but we saw sharp-tail grouse in significant numbers, we also saw few nesting great horned owl pairs and many nesting Ferruginous hawks. I was amazed at the number of birds choosing to nest in this part of the world around Pakowki Lake. Big thanks to Jerry Herzig for his kindness and a very informative guided tour.
