Clarks Grebe and Swan (121028)
While we were reviewing the shots from the morning session (Golden Eagles and Grouse) Tim called us and let us know that a rare visitor to Calgary, a Clarks Grebe was busy posing for photog's about 15 minutes from home. So Jamie gagged down his beer and we were off.
He was happy to pose for us, and sun cooperated for the most part. It was great to watch this bird as it made that long beak disappear as it "rested". Here is the first step, shorten up the neck.
Now tuck that Bill in a little and you wouldn't believe it was even there.
and of course there are times when it would just strike a pose!
We headed over to the back pond to see if there were any swans hanging out, and we grabbed some shots of this one before it got totally airbourne.
We also scooped this Rusty Blackbird while there.
We wrapped up this session with a Northern Flicker, we looked for the GHO's that are supposed to hang around in the area, but we could not find them.
That was Sunday, I hope everyone has a great wildlife week!
