Wonderful days of bird sightings - too h*** with the snow storm


Big snow on Friday, April 29th, yesterday. The last two pictures were taken as Charley and I were heading into work.
The raven starts a series of bird pictures taken during our four hour morning bird walk today. Audrey and I went to the marsh loop and saw a sharp shinned hawk (no photo) in the marsh grasses hunting, a killdeer, a coyote, and other birds. Then we went to Vermillion Lakes and saw an Eagle and a great blue heron (no photos) and the ones posted here were birds we saw at the beaver dam: in order: Yellow-rumped Warblers, a beaver! first sighting this year! Hooray Audrey saw it! one of a family that lives in beaver pond, Varied thrush (orange and black) the wren was a thrill to see and it came very close to us. The loon and the Ruddy Ducks - with BLUE beaks, I saw on the Bow River on my walk home on Friday.
