A Western Kingbird perches on a wire fence after short but heavy rain. I hate to remind you, but for those of us in public schools, it starts again on Monday. Good luck this year!

What Bird Wednesday
Last week’s bird was, as Josiah guessed, a Northern Water-Thrush. Can anyone get this one?

Fall Photos
Warblers, shorebirds, and others are becoming more and more evident in birding hotspots around all towns and cities these past few weeks. This, combined with the clear eclipse (should you find yourself wondering what the moon has to do with birds, click here to unlock the mystery), are sure signs of fall migration. Even in the past week, I have found unusual species in my local ponds and creeks. Here is a collection of photos that my Dad and I have taken recently.
Do you have any cool bird photos from this fall?
If so, email them to me at [email protected], and I will be sure to post them soon.

As the front edge of fall migration hits southern Alberta, the warblers are starting to take over their old haunts, this time decorated in their more drab but still colourful plumages. Here is an American Redstart, female.

What Bird Wednesday
Here is my WBW for this week. Last week, my main bird was a Spotted Sandpiper, and my photo for William was… an extreme close-up of a Northern Flicker’s tail feathers!

What Bird Wednesday – With an Extra Twist
Here is my What Bird Wednesday for this week. As William guessed it was a North-Western Crow.
My little extra bit here is for William, as he has got so many recently. Here it is!
What Bird William
Look very closely, and you might just get it…

Amphibians on Friday
I recently went to Chilver Lake, looking for the birds in the area. While we were there, we found a bunch of Tiger Salamanders. Above is a regular size one, and below, well, you can see for yourself. It’s huge, but all the signs point towards it being a baby!
