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.
Grandin Pond. St. Albert, Alberta.
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.
The Avocets are massing up now. As you can see, they are loosing their rusty colour with some already in winter plumage.
This image does not do justice to the number of birds I saw there. There were at least two thousand. I just got tired of counting after that :)
To visit Countryside is to step into a virtual world of quintessential rural Americana. This beautifully landscaped region abounds with the sites, sounds and texture of rural America where time seems to almost stand still, and the days are woven into a rich tapestry where life is rewardingly simple and uncomplicated by the pace of our modern age. Wander the peaceful pasturelands and country roads, and get a sense of what has endeared generation after generation to this land.

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

We came across these American Coots (Fulica americana) while visiting Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, Florida. Its large toes are probably adapted to its water habitat. The bird measures about 15 inches (38-39 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip.
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.

American White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) swim on a pond in Pixley National Wildlife Refuge north of Wasco, California near Allensworth. The small birds swimming near them are American coots (Fulica americana).
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.
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.
Some people think Wood Storks are ugly. They resent how they move into the rookery and usurp the tree islands, crowding out the Great Blues and Anhinga who had settled in prior to this pushy intrusion. And that noisy sex that goes on all the time, that clashing of bills drawing attention to what, I should think we would all agree, be done in private, or at least in the darkness of night. Well, I for one am deeply offended. Yet, when I look at this bird, I can’t help but seeing its inner beauty. Yes, I’m a closet Wood Stork lover. There should be help for folk like me, but to hell I say, I’m coming out of the closet and will embrace my affliction without shame! (And, let me just add, this is no laughing matter.)

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.
