It seems that there are still some interesting birds around Canmore – I photographed this Magnolia Warbler as well as a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher and some American Redstarts on Policemans Creek this week.

Exploring the Natural World
A couple of days ago, we hiked half way up a nearby mountain to where the Dusky Grouse were breeding. Dusky Grouse has been a species that we never really made the effort for before, and so we’d never seen one until now. They weren’t difficult to find, this bird in particular arrowing straight towards me before changing its mind and turning down the trail.
