This guy was the first of many for the morning... he loved those low perches, which is always fun because it allows you to see more of the bird than you would if they were high up in the canopy, which Prairies sometimes do. I like that this image really displays all of the defining characteristics of his plumage, from the distinctive facial pattern to the russet stripes on the mantle, the latter of which is probably my favorite of their field marks.
A young Prairie Coyote (Canus latrans) hunts along the tall vegetation in the roadside ditch for potential prey. it totally ignored the roadside traffic so it is assumed it was either young or accustomed to the vehicular traffic in Elk Island National park east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

That grain elevator (now destroyed by fire) was sometimes seen in the background of the TV sitcom "Corner Gas".
Been travelling for work / personal over the past few weeks which explains my absence and a somewhat random collection of images over the next few days!
This little bird I got while both it and my family were wintering in Cuba! He was very aggressive calling behind our hotel room and after some patience appeared on this branch for a few moments for a few snaps!
These two black tailed prairie dogs had a fun time play fighting and were so entertaining. This photo was taken in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.
During an evening of thunderstorms while home in SD this summer I was standing in one place observing (and snapping) two storms. Both were distant and no threat to me, but they were close enough to see the lightning and the clouds building in the diminishing light.
I had a really good time this night. The light was wonderful. The clouds were awesome! And the storms just kept building and rolling through.
Yes, the sunset light really hit the cloud like that. It was AmaZing!
Enjoy.
The Ojibway Prairie Provincial Nature Reserve can be found in Windsor, Ontario only 10 minutes from the city’s downtown. A great place to visit anytime of the year even on a warm winter day.

The app on my phone identifies the plant as black cherry, but if anyone knows better fill me in!
The pistils in the middle of the flowers of Prairie Smoke Geum develop into heads of seeds with long fuzzy hairs that point upwards. The hairs resemble mauve smoke, hence the name prairie smoke. These collected some overnight dew, adding to their delicate beauty.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday! Thank you all for your visits, comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
