What a great week! So many new things to see…starting with the promised picture of Kate, the returning Osprey! The pair has been very busy at the nest (if you know what I mean)…A few birds that I have not had the privilege to see in the Cochrane area before…(although I am sure they were always here, but it was before I was looking)

Western Meadowlark spotted on our Camera Club Outing

What an amazing song!!

Eurasian-collared Dove on Township Rd 280

Coot at Lochend Lake

Dark-eyed Junco at Paddy Flat’s
The Tree Swallows have returned and they are getting settled in as neighbours to the Mountain Bluebirds…both were spotted on our Camera Club Outing this past Saturday on one of the detours (previous blog) I added to our trip!! (everyone was very excited!!)
The hawks have returned to the area…there are so many soaring everywhere you go these days!
…and the muskrat babies are venturing out on their own!!This week we have had snow the past 2 days….waiting for the sun and warm weather to return so the adventures can continue!!
What a treat it is following your blog. I really enjoyed your water pictures of the red-wing blackbird taking a bath. Looking forward to seeing what is next.
