Some SW Saskatchewan Bird shots:



great horned owl
Great Horned Owl  perched on a pole in the alley. When the sky lightened I found
the headless duck it had been dining on, under a spruce tree in the back yard.  




magpie
The iridescence of a magpie, like a crow or raven is seldom visible until the light is just right.
This shot was from about 200 feet.



crossbill

sandhill cranes
Eastend was filled with oolloo-ing songs from two large flocks
of
Sandhill Cranes as they wheeled in tight ellipses heading south.
