Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

At first upon stumbling on this lone bird near Tilley, Alberta I was sure I had a Sprague's Pipit. However at closer look, this was actually a young Horned Lark.

Not the best shot, but a photo for the records. No matter which direction you looked, the area near Lake Newell Alberta just kept on producing different bird species that morning.

It was only later that I realized this female may have been at a nest, but not sure. Seen in the area between Brooks and Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Starting the day off with a sparkling Cinnamon Teal was a good omen. Near Lake Newell, Alberta.
