A distant shot and big crop, but nice to catch this parent with one of its four chicks.

The urban park ponds and outside marsh habitats are well on the way to thawing now. I am happy to photograph ducks again.

I posted a shot featuring the female yesterday. Here she is with her mate in focus.
Edmonton, Alberta.
Brown Creepers start their foraging from the base of a tree trunk and work their way up often very quickly while using their long curved bills to probe for insect eggs and larvae under the bark scales.
Edmonton, Alberta.
Cryptic Plumage
Brown Creepers can seem to disappear against a tree trunk as they move up from base. I like the feather detail in this shot which is best seen if the zoom tool is used.

I am sure if this sign could talk it might have a few stories.

Wonderful rooftop sign at Mr. D'z Route 66 Diner!
We had an exceptional breakfast at Mr. D'z in Kingman! . . .
This Route 66 diner is an old fashioned diner, serving traditional diner fare, and is best known for its homemade root beer floats and burgers! Vintage Americana decorates this Route 66 diner as it is loaded with Route 66 memorabilia! So stop on in and enjoy the atmosphere and food that makes this Route 66 diner one to remember : )

I've been listening a lot to country folk lately, and this photo is inspired by it! The way the sun falls, and that truck, and everything else...

Today I had the opportunity to do some local birding with a friend that I haven’t seen in a while and it turned out to be a great day. One of the highlights was this male Northern Parula who let us get some excellent photos. While we watched he moved around the branches of a nearby tree plucking several spiders from their webs and eating them. Instead of showing the carnage I thought it was nicer to just show him looking pretty.

Looking back over shots taken this year that I haven't posted or worked on.
She was so pretty and dainty as she ran along the field by the road I was standing on until she felt it was safe to cross in front of me. This is only the third time I have seen one.
I was about two hours south of Edmonton looking for Sandhill Cranes in April.
Located in Hyde Park, New York, the Eveready Diner is a favorite of the locals & visitors to the historical home of President Roosevelt.

An ancient silo, old Ford pickup and a long unused windmill keep a lovely well-preserved barn company on a delicious Minnesota summer day. As an old person, I can’t simply look at this photo but instead I find myself transported into it and a time it represents.
There was a number of decades last century when rural America was coming alive with a transition from rudimentary physical labor to a more promising future through technology that held hopes of easier and more prosperous living for farmers and their offspring.
For those of us growing up in the decades on either side of mid-century, there were experiences of a lifetime to live, like taking our first airplane trip, watching our first black and white TV followed a number of years later by watching our first color TV program. We were happy with the quality even though years later we would be horrified if we had to watch fuzzy programs.
Our country was creating at a rapid rate some of the world’s most marvelous buildings, machines and 8-cylinder cars that whizzed down two lane highways at speeds exceeding 55 mph. NASA was reaching for the moon even as our military was considered the most powerful on earth.
But underlying the external progress, farmers were slowly undergoing changes as well, changes that turned our Norman Rockwell farms into ever expanding soil factories intent on wringing out every dollar the land could produce. Along with that pursuit, we began to see changes happening to farm families through the loss of farm youth to jobs and careers in our burgeoning cities.
Americana turned into a memory.

A very rare sighting here. This young Whooping Crane was spotted by several people in a marsh north west of Edmonton, and the word got around quickly. I was at the right place and time today to get this shot as it flew by me to land on a field where has been foraging a long distance away from the road I was standing on.
This is a young non-breeding individual that did not go up to Wood Buffalo National Park, or is taking his sweet time to get there. No urgency for it.
The whooping Crane's primary natural breeding ground is Wood Buffalo National Park, in Canada's Northwest Territories and Alberta.
They winter in the coastal marshes of Texas, particularly in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.
Schistocerca americana -- male
The American Bird Grasshopper is a migrant that rarely reaches our area in late summer or early fall. Two days with massive south winds this past week probably aided this powerful flyer more commonly associated with the south.
In 8-9 years of looking this is only the 2nd one I've seen in our area so it was a special delight to find this one in our yard - and - it was so cool this individual was sluggish and posable. I've seen this species both in SC and TX and both times they were impossible to get close too - quickly flying up to perch in tall trees.
The American Bird Grasshopper's two most closely related cousins are the two most destructive grasshoppers on earth. One found in north Africa and the other in South America. Think "locust" and "plague". This species in contrast is not a problem.
Glenn Parker and I had found Avocets at Murray Marsh. We hooked up with Bob and walked the Strathcona Trail. This set is made up of Avocet images. I was really happy with the way the RW Blackbird and Avocet interaction turned out.

At first glance, this might look like part of a large flock of Snow Geese, but they are American Avocets in winter plumage.
Cooking Lake in Central Alberta has long been known as a major staging area for American Avocets during migration.
This shot is one I took there at the end of August in 2022, but never processed. The entire flock was estimated at about 5,000 by biologist Dick Dekker who just completed a 15 year study of the Avocets of Cooking lake.
