A distant shot and big crop, but nice to catch this parent with one of its four chicks.
Sturgeon County, Alberta.
I posted a shot featuring the female yesterday. Here she is with her mate in focus.
Edmonton, Alberta.
Breeding males have obvious white blaze on forehead and broad green slash behind eye. Females are plainer brown with rusty sides. Females are very difficult to distinguish from female Eurasian Wigeon; note colder grayish-brown head on American that contrasts with warmer orangey sides. Also look for brighter white, not gray, underwings in flight, but this can be difficult to judge, especially at a distance. Widespread and common in North America, occasionally wintering as far south as northern South America. Typically in flocks on lakes and wetlands, often grazing in nearby fields. Regular vagrant to Europe. (eBird)

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

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.

This photograph of an American Avocet was taken just outside of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Females are similar in appearance to males but with a shorter and more upwardly-curved bill, male bills are longer and straighter. They are the only avocet with distinct breeding and non-breeding plumages.
During the breeding season, the feathers turn a rusty orange color, but in the winter, they are grayish white.
I believe this is a male but please correct me if I am wrong.

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.

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...

The female on the right has a more deeply curved bill.
They are transitioning into winter plumage. It was a little hazy on that day, but I like the effect.

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.

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.
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.
