Near the end of April this year found me making a trip west to Sask. Spending a couple of days and a number of hours watching and photographing these most interesting birds ( Sharp-tailed Grouse )
Plan will be to return again next spring for more of the same and perhaps try a couple of different approaches that I have in mind…will have to wait and see if my ideas unfold.
Another take on the Indigo Bunting found in the English Gardens, Wpg. mid Aug. I had planned on returning a couple more times but there always seemed to be other things pop up…the joy’s of retirement.
Had a great time at Oak Hammock Marsh watching the six Great Egrets and their interactions. I will only assume that there would have been juveniles in the mix ? They went about their search for food unconcerned with human presence and at times come relatively close ( 100-125 ft.)
It appeared that they each had an area that they where wading in and if another came to close they seemed to defend that location with vocal calls and chasseing away the intruder.
All this provided, wading, take off, landing and flight shots.
