This is actually a second version of this photo. Nathen (Witty Nickname) www.flickr.com/photos/witty_nickname/ used his handy editing skills and removed the noise that was in the earlier picture, and the result was a much better picture. Thanks Nathen!.

I was just about to leave Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in Calgary, Alberta, when a highly amusing series of actions happened that I was lucky to photograph despite being quite far away. In this first image in a series of six, an adult female Common Merganser — who has a young barely visible behind her — is warning off a female Mallard swimming by. A female Hooded Merganser that was resting near the two other mergansers is standing up. 1 of 6
A chilly -5C at 9 AM this morning. Looking west from Tom Campbell's Hill. No snow yet... but it's coming.
Well, for a photo taken out of the passenger side window of our car as Lisa and I were driving back from a scrumptous brunch on Friday, i thought this turned out pretty well!
This was taken just south of the Deerfoot Trail and 32nd Avenue NE interchange, looking west, and shows the Sam Livingston Fish Hatchery in the foreground, and some central Calgary homes overlooking the Calgary Tower (left middle, red top) and a portion of the downtown skyline.
Also featured is an amazing Chinook arch of cloud and sky, a sign of the temperate weather that has been prevailing for the past few weeks (I am still waiting for everything to turn green, though, as you can see)...this made for wonderful contrast with the buildings below!
