The urban park ponds and outside marsh habitats are well on the way to thawing now. I am happy to photograph ducks again.
Grandin Pond. St. Albert, Alberta.
A distant shot and big crop, but nice to catch this parent with one of its four chicks.
Sturgeon County, Alberta.
My first of the season. The deep curve of the bill identifies this one as a female.
Murray Marsh. Sturgeon County, 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.

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

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.
Edmonton, Alberta
Petersburg, Virginia was a very interesting city; Old town looked like a ghost town. It was quite strange and it felt like we were in the Twilight zone. But I really liked the looks of this antique store.
The field around a barn in the small town of Latah, Washington is frequently adorned with old trucks and cars. When we stopped to photograph the scene, a man came out of a nearby house, opened the gate and invited us in to continue shooting. He said he and another neighbor like to display their collection of old vehicles near this barn.
Happy Truck Thursday!

Four duck species have been breeding in Hawrelak Park for several decades. American Wigeon, Mallard, Lesser Scaup, and Common Goldeneye all raise young there.
All four species seem quite habituated to humans.

Alexis Diner
A busy dinner time visit to Alexis in Newburgh with a parking lot full of cars turns out to be an "empty" spot through the view of a 13mm Lens.
Notice the lovely reflection of the setting sun.
This dosen't really capture very well the spectacle of the hundreds of Avocets I saw today. There are massing up for their journey south.
Cooking Lake, Alberta.
rappresenta una minaccia per le tartarughe autoctone in via di estinzione e per l’ittiofauna, essendo una forte predatrice di pesci. È una specie molto adattabile ed è anche portatrice di agenti patogeni per l’uomo.
Located in Hyde Park, New York, the Eveready Diner is a favorite of the locals & visitors to the historical home of President Roosevelt.

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.

Tilia americana
I consider this a weed. It's forever dropping twigs and branches, the wood is basically useless for anything but carving and the only thing worst for firewood is Butternut. The older ones in my woods are over a 100 feet tall with a 4 foot diameter. It's highly unlikely I'll be pulling them out of the ground anytime soon.
American Avocets (Recurvirostra americana) feeding in Horseshoe Lake, Bolivar Peninsula, Texas. See companion photo "Solitary Avocet".
This Whooping Crane was photographed in the same location as the Sandhill Crane I posted yesterday, a few hours later during a pause in the rain. Both species of crane hang out in this field, along with some other cool bird species.
The 2023 count for Whooping Crans wintering around the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is 536, including 88 juveniles. The population is considered stable for now. They've recovered from a low count of 43 in 1967, but they're still considered critically endangered. We've visited the Aransas NWR area several times over the years and it's always a thrill to see these magnificent endangered birds.
