I drove the backroads a few times this week and it's apparent that fall migration is upon us. Swainson's Hawks are calling one another and gathering into loose groups in preparation for their long migration to South America. These photos show adults in both light morph and dark morph variations and a juvenile light morph.

I did a quick overnight trip to the Medicine Hat area and spent my time traveling the back roads. The species I saw included: a dozen Pronghorn, hundreds of Vesper Sparrows, a dozen Northern Harriers, several Swainson's Hawks, several Merlins, a couple of Loggerhead Shrikes, one Western Kingbird, a dozen or more Western Meadowlark, two Badgers, a lone Coyote, a million or more grasshoppers, and two Prairie Falcons. The birds and even the raptors seem to be gathering in loose groups in preparation for fall migration. I wasn't able to photograph everything I saw, but am very pleased with what I saw. Can't wait to go back, but this time with the truck! Those back roads were a challenge!

I didn't get out much in July and the insane amount of rain we had didn't help. I did get an Osprey and Trumpeter Swan in front of my lens which was nice. Hope you're having a wonderful summer!

I had a wonderful morning photographing this very rare visitor to our area. This beautiful Snowy Egret is much smaller than I expected and proved to be a very skilled hunter. In the hour that I spent with this bird, it caught a wide variety of prey including fish, bugs, larvae, and worms. Thanks for looking!

After years of hearing but not seeing, I finally captured a Swamp Sparrow in front of my lens. These little sparrows typically stay deep in the reeds, only to emerge to sing their hearts out. At the same marsh, I also noticed this very wet coyote surveying the area from atop a beaver dam. It was a good day to be out!

I had the good fortune and privilege to watch a Red Fox den this week that's situated on private property. I didn't see all the kits out at the same time, but it appears there are five of them. Mamma has a big job to keep them fed! I never tire of getting wildlife opportunities such as this.

While everyone was on their way to work, I decided to pop out to a local park this morning. What a treat to spend a few quiet hours with this beautiful Common Loon and Red-necked Grebes. Of course, the muskrat had to pop out to say hello as well.

What a stellar evening for photography! I saw four Short-eared Owls, several Western Meadowlarks, and a Ring-neck Pheasant. All within 30 minutes from home and in a two hour time frame. The last Short-eared Owl was so calm and relaxed. I was parked right in front of him and he didn't seem to mind my presence at all. What a privilege!

I took advantage of the warm spring weather to get out for spring arrivals. I saw so much more than I was able to photograph! I missed photographs of Northern Harrier x 2, Red-tailed hawk, Swainson's Hawk, American Avocets, Black-necked stilts, and a Eurasian Collard Dove.

This male Pileated Woodpecker was a nice find this afternoon.

A drive to the west side of the city today rewarded me with a few pairs of Mountain Bluebirds and a Northern Shrike on his way to the Arctic.
