A distant shot and big crop, but nice to catch this parent with one of its four chicks.
Sturgeon County, Alberta.
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.
My first of the season. The deep curve of the bill identifies this one as a female.
Murray Marsh. Sturgeon County, 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.
Old sign off the 95 in Nevada.
I have been hearing them and catching glimpses on the Whitemud Trails and finally got a clear but back-lighted shot.
Added to my Canada 150 Album.

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.

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.

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.

Basswood (Tree)
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.
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.
