Spring Birdwatching
x-posted to backyard_birds
Today was biz biz! Mom and I were supposed to go on a birdwatching bus trip to Invermere, British Columbia for the Wings Over the Rockies bird festival. It was cancelled due to lack of interest, which is a shame. It was a gorgeous day today and it would have been beautiful weather. I rented a 100-400mm lens and we went to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary instead here in Calgary, Alberta. We got there early and a good thing too because it became super hot by the time we left. I even got a sunburn!
We saw lots of birds including Canada geese, goslings, a variety of ducks, deer, robins, starlings, magpies and a bird of prey. I finally got a decent picture of a robin, which I am thrilled about. Here are some photos that I took with my phone off the camera screen. I'll add these to the pile of bird pictures I need to go through from February :-D
