It rained last night so this robin was taking advantage of the nice soft ground. Lots of earthworms to be found just by kicking around the fallen seed. Right outside my window.

Over the weekend, our "summer" robins
(Turdus migratorius) arrived in huge numbers. There must be over a hundred in the neighbor's holly trees. They will strip the trees of ALL their berries within the next few days, and then they will go. With the cold weather, and only my little bowls of water, there is fierce competition for a drinking spot!!

The vote is in - the Black-capped Chickadee is now Calgary's official bird!
"After collecting more than 36,000 votes, the City of Calgary has announced which bird will officially represent the city — the black-capped chickadee.
The small bird came in first out of five birds, capturing a healthy 44 per cent of the vote. The black-billed magpie came in second with 24 per cent of the vote, the northern flicker came in third, the blue jay in fourth and the red-breasted nuthatch in fifth." From CBC News, 15 May 2022.
Sunday, 15 May 2022: our temperature is 14°C (windchill 14°C) just before 1:00 pm. Sunrise was at 5:46 am, and sunset is at 9:19 pm. Sunny.
Yesterday, 14 May 2022, I was finally able to get out for a drive, the last one being on 29 April. It felt so good to be in the outdoors, especially after wasting the previous two days, waiting to hear from someone about delivering and installing a new kitchen sink garburator. I had been told it would be happen on Friday, but nothing. Nothing on Saturday (yesterday) either, but I did get a surprise early evening, when I opened my front door to go to a meeting and discovered a box on my doorstep! No email or phone message or ringing doorbell. No idea when it was dropped off. So now I have the new one and my old one continues to leak into the cupboard. Guess I will be wasting a third day when/if someone does eventually come and install.
There was one particular bird that I was hoping to see yesterday, but no luck. My own fault, no doubt, as I got up at the very unearthly hour (for me!) of 7:00 am but didn't leave home till a few hours later. I know I will get other chances to see one or more of these birds. No hurry.
For the third time, I called in at Ranchers Corner (down on Highway 22 just north of Millarville) for their cheese burger and fries take-out. Drove a few roads further to find a quiet country road and pulled over to enjoy my meal. Definitely worth calling in at this little bungalow turned take-out/cafe.
Feeling full, I continued my drive SW, seeing few birds other than several Mountain Bluebirds and Robins and a little Savannah Sparrow. I knew I was not out at the best time of day and ended up looking into the sun for almost every bird photo. Will I ever learn? Of course not : ) A barn or two and several brightly coloured Bluebird/Tree Swallow nesting boxes made up for the shortage of birds.

American robin (Turdus migratorius) eating staghorn sumac along the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The American Robins were tossing leaves up in the air in their search for food. Didn't see they found much to eat in the leaf little. They were able to toss the leaves quite high. Liked this moment with the leaf suspended against the snow.
This little beauty was sitting on our sidewalk when I got home this afternoon. He/she seemed to be in some sort of distress (maybe just overheated?), but I didn't see any obvious injury. I was able to approach the baby and -- GASP! -- I touched it. It actually seemed comforted by my voice and touch, although I know I didn't do the right thing. We spent 10 minutes together and then it trotted off into the woods. I don't think it even knows how to fly yet, so how it ended up so close to the house, I don't know!

I often see them, but most times I don't take a photo. This American Robin perched, for several minutes in great lighting, on various branches right in front of me, and I just couldn't resist at Boundary Bay in Delta BC Canada.

The large flocks of Robins that winter here are mostly gone, and the few that stay around for spring breed here. They are fond of grapes, which I toss out onto the grass each morning.
Oops, I totally forgot to post these five photos, taken on Sunday, 26 May 2024, when we were doing the May Species Count. Not brilliant images, but posting them for the record.
Hopefully, I can get started today on editing a few photos taken yesterday, 1 June.
May Species Count, 26 May 2024, SW of Calgary.
Really bad photo quality for all my images from this year's Count, mainly thanks to the gloomy, rainy weather. Posting photos from this year's May Species Count, anyway, just for the record.
On 26 May 2024, I took part in yet another annual May Species Count in Calgary/Alberta. There were just the three of us in my group. Each year, I look forward to this day, especially as my group's count is in one of my main birding areas.
Leaving home at 6:30 am so that I could reach the meeting place early and drive to look for Wilson's Snipes before we went to other locations. I saw three - later in the morning, we only saw one.
For the rest of the day, we drove main roads and back roads, searching for as many species as we could find. Then, all the lists from all the different groups that took part are recorded on ebird. Only one Great Gray Owl was listed - the one that my daughter and I had seen two days earlier in my group's area. Luckily, it was able to be included as 'Count Week' in the final list for Calgary/Alberta.
On Count day, my little group had two very special sightings - a pair of beautiful Sandhill Cranes feeding in a field, and our first Bobolink (male) of the year.
Can't believe how lucky I have been in the last few days!
