Denizen of the lower levels of the forest understory, this little beauty is a tough one to get the focus on. Constantly foraging on the journey South, they never sit still and are most of the time " behind something" and in the DARK. I was fortunate to have it briefly in the open in a shaft of light.

The fledged young barnswallows are quite capable of flying and fend for them selfs but still like to get that extra mouth-stuffer.

Now I have reached the equivalent nr. of species as last year.

As (my) luck would have it and against all "ODDS" I spotted this elusive cousin of the Sora quietly slipping through the marsh vegetation. Not often long enough in the open to focus on him but I managed. It looks like they have returned once more to our area.
Big lake marsh, AB.
This was probably one of the dreariest days in the life of this out of it's way flycatcher. Not normally seen around here. However I liked the Fall colours in this miserable looking bird image.
Lois Hole prov. park, St.Albert, AB.
You don't see too many 60-year-old cars on the road anymore. I was part of a photography walk and shoot group doing some street photography in Fitzroy. Nobody else took any interest, but I was very excited to see an XP Falcon parked outside a coffee shop.
This must be the most entertaining duck I know. Doing his courtship "bubble making" ritual always make me laugh.
Grandin pond St.Albert, AB.
Something odd I noticed. What is this coot doing so close to the muskrat. Well, the muskrat was the one doing the work by diving to the bottom and bringing up some fresh aquatic plants to eat . The coot just helped itself. Freeloader !.
Sturgeon river St.Albert, AB.
With the miserable weather we had the ducks were loafing along the shoreline vegetation.
Local pond ,St.Albert, AB.
Just the other day I spotted a brown creeper on the Pine tree in front of the house.Grabbed the camera and scooted outside. But you know they are always going UP. and then fly away. I did not 'like the shots so I post this one from last year.Fairhaven area.St.Albert, AB.

We will not see these guys any longer here.
I do not know the name of the flower it is feeding on,perhaps Peter knows ?
On my hike through the forest of the Lois Hole Cent. prov. pk. I came across this rodent. Trying to pick a spot through the branches was a bit of a pain in the neck but eventually I caught it briefly looking at me while it was slowly "debarking" the birch branches..
Having this encounter at minus 20 C. was heartwarming to say the least.

Keep on coming, just keep on coming, was my thought.
Sitting in one of my wildlife observation spots I noticed this coyote working its way slowly through the grasses, coming towards me. With the light breeze in my favour I could squeeze off several shots before the coyote became suspicious of the shutter sound, slowly turned around and disappeared the same way as it came.
