American Badger (Taxidae taxus) hunts for a meal in the short grass prairie landscape of Grasslands National Park east of Val Marie, Saskatchewan, Canada.

 

They are a difficult animal to find, let alone get the opportunity to photograph so I felt very privileged that it stayed long enough to get a few images.

 

I have only encountered a few of these creatures over all the years and miles that I have covered on the prairies.

This is the American Falls as seen from the Canadian side.

 

Thanks for viewing!

Two kept approaching me in shadow water, when they decided to take off. Got a few decent shots of them.

In the winter of 2015/2016 a number of American Robin (Turdus migratorius) over-wintered and survived by feeding on berries and small minnows or Stickleback fish. It was totally unusual to observe this behaviour especially in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where temperatures can get down into the -30C range.

 

This bird has selected a stickleback from a bit of open water in a small urban park on the east edge of Edmonton.

American bird Grasshopper (Schistocerca americana) at Tosohatchee WMA

A female white pelican (front) is a fair bit smaller than the male (back), as you can see in this image. This pair seemed to be paired up as the male followed her in a ritualistic swim around the pond many times. They are both sporting their long head feathers and more intense colouring of the face and beak.

American White Pelicans from Frank Lake Alberta

The American Redstart is referred to as "the butterfly of the bird world" because of its quick fluttering motions and bright orange color on the wings and tail.

They are known by some in the tropics as the "latrine bird" because of their tendency to look for flies around outhouse and garbage dumps. They are also known there as the "Christmas bird" because they appear in the region around Christmas time.

An American Goldfinch perched on a Tamarack tree limb. Which turn a beautiful gold color in the fall, before they drop there needles.

I am paying much more attention to Dragonflies, Butterflies, and Moths these days. The University of Alberta has a great identification help service for Butterflies and Moths called "albertaleps", and a service for all other insects and arachnids called "albertabugs"

 

John Acorn identified this one for me as an American Emerald. He also identified my other Dragonfly post this evening as a Beaverpond Baskettail.
