"In the blue Canadian Rockies
Spring is silent through the trees
And the golden poppies are blooming
'Round the banks of Lake Louise..."
The music of The Byrds comes to mind as CPKC's Royal Canadian Pacific pulls into the station at Banff, Alta., beneath the majestic Canadian Rockies. Tempestuous late-spring clouds swirl around the jagged peaks of Cascade Mountain, setting a brooding alpine mood for scene reminiscent of the days when passenger trains regularly called on this scenic resort town.
Today, however, Banff marks the end of the line for this short excursion from Calgary. Here, CPKC 21B has reached its terminus, where the power will soon be turned for the return trip to Cowtown. Leading the way is a trio of EMD FP9s, followed by a distinguished set of business cars: Van Horne, Major Rogers, Craigellachie, Selkirk, and Mount Stephen.

Although the Canada (Gray) Jay is a very sweet looking bird, every once in awhile they do look a little villainous. Algonquin Park has a Canada Jay banding program. All known Canada Jays in Algonquin Park are banded and studied. This Canada Jay has no bands. Its a newbie.
Rondeau Provincial Park, Aug 7, 2022.
We were surprised to see this Canada at the pond today.
Evidently the fall migration is starting.
We also had a black and white warbler and, as usual, lots of yellow warblers
Cardellina canadensis
Canada Warblers fly more than 3,000 miles from their wintering grounds in South America to their breeding grounds in the United States and Canada.

Taken on our first day visiting Niagara Falls. The cruise ship, Hornblower Niagara Cruises, takes people as close to the falls as possible. The cruises constantly run back and forth all day with tourists. The former Niagara cruise ships - The Maid of the Mist - which used to run out of the Canadian side of the Falls, now runs out of the American side and Hornblower Niagara Cruises has taken The Maid of the Mists place since 2013.
These Canadian Geese were flying from one field to the next, to continue their morning feeding. I found the light formed interesting patterns in the outstretched wings. A definite bonus to me as details like this are only available to me when I show down the action with my camera gear...gotta love how technology sometime allows us to better understand and enjoy nature.
Today, February 15, 2025, marks the 60th anniversary of Canada’s maple leaf flag, a symbol of unity and national values. Amid rising tensions with the U.S., including proposed tariffs and sovereignty threats from Trump, patriotic sentiment in Canada has surged, doubling flag sales. This anniversary serves as a reminder of Canada's commitment to freedom, justice, and unity, reinforcing national identity during a critical period of diplomatic challenges.
