When time is short one wants to make the best of it…visiting St.Vital Park is always a sure bet for action.
The Wood Duck (male) would be the most colourful duck we have.

Switching from large Eagles to smaller Snow Buntings (sparrow like in size) that migrate from the Arctic to the southern parts of the prairies at this time of year…they are often seen while in search of Snowy Owls along the roadsides in flocks during the winter months here in Manitoba…apparently they also like the shorelines of Lake Winnipeg at Grand Beach.

The day was less than kind soon after we arrived at Hecla, dull overcast skies moved in and the winds picked up. Change in conditions appeared to drive the Eagles farther away from the shore and into the bush.
This pair perched side by side for some time…I would assume by size that they would be an adult male and a juvenile female.
