Harris’s Sparrow
There has been a Harris’s Sparrow in Banff recently – here’s my best shot from our one time seeing it. Harris’s are unusual birds in the valley, so this is quite a nice find.

Male Hooded Merganser
As more and more birds turn up, some are bound to end up in odd places, like these Hooded Mergansers on Policeman’s Creek. This is only the second or third time I have seen them there.

California Gull
One of hundreds of California Gulls in Calgary on Tuesday. We saw these, a Glaucous Gull, a male Eurasian Wigeon and a supremely early Black-crowned Night-Heron at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary along with Herring Gulls, Wood Ducks and others.

Northern Saw-whet Owl
I was especially lucky to find this little one amongst the recent migrants in Canmore – a Northern Saw-whet Owl! The bird was well hidden in a tangle of branches and twigs indeed, it was so well hidden that I had to lie down on my belly and shot upwards to get even this partially obscured photo.

Common Redpoll
There are only two or three consistent flocks of Redpolls in Canmore right now. Here’s one from Policeman’s Creek.

Not much to photograph recently! Here’s on of our ever-present Black-capped Chickadees from Policeman’s Creek.
