"INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT!" Great Horned Owl (Female) Just another hazing from a pair of Canada Geese. A three step warning system: 1. Hooting from the female; 2. Clicking of the beak from the female; 3. Attack by the male - not a pleasant encounter with those owl talons.

Photo of the Week - April 29, 2018 - "PETULANT PELICANS" - American White Pelican

April 29, 2018 • 1 Comment

"PETULANT PELICANS" American White Pelicans (3 photos) Caught these handsome male pelicans early evening, all crowded together on a rocky shoal. Generally, I have found pelicans to be quite the social animal, almost saying "excuse me, coming through" as they find their way through the crowd. I have never seen their white "crest feathers" so...

'ELLO, 'ELLO, 'ELLO! - Osprey

April 26, 2018 • Leave a Comment

'ELLO, 'ELLO, 'ELLO! Osprey Caught in an early morning fishing vigil, certainly got the "look and the hook"! Several minutes later, the osprey flew and began fishing happily. We may still be experiencing some of the after shock of arriving back in Alberta to snow covered fields and icy rivers. Thank goodness all that has gone now and Spring has a...

I may be "old sc...
