Eared Grebes

Eared Grebes ~ The most abundant grebe in the world, the Eared Grebe is a small waterbird with a very thin bill and a bright red eye. In the summer months, golden wisps fan out from their cheeks as they dance and run across the water courting. They breed in colonies in shallow wetlands in western North America and head by the hundreds and thousands to salty inland waters to feast on brine shrimp before heading farther south. In winter, they lose the golden wisps, turning gray and white.

Merlin

So its been rather noisy in my neighbourhood the last few days. Well, I think the noisy makers wings are finally working. I think these guys have the sweetest little faces but I wouldn't want to get in the way of that beak or claws!! Merlin - having supper Calgary, AB July 20/19

Sparrows

I have set up a feeder in a tree in my yard in hopes of getting more natural images of the sparrows or other birds on branches instead of on a fence. It has been an interesting experience and I am learning patience because well, sparrows do have a mind of their own!! But not all my shots have been of the little sparrows hanging on a branch but hanging out in the grass below the feeder!
