pepper Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Looking back along the Bow River - Season 2011 Every morning, we post a previously unpublished photo from Season 2011. We began this in November 2011. You can see individual photos here. We also post them to albums. Season 2011 Album #1 was capped at 167 photos. We continue to add daily to Season 2011 Album #2 which is currently at 54 photos. Today along the Bow River - June 2012 Every evening, we post a new photo from the current day, or the current month. You can view June 2012 here or here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepper Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks Northfork! We can recall taking a photo of a wood duck only once before, maybe 5 years ago. According to The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta, the wood duck occurs "sporadically" in this province, "where it is at the northern limits of its North American range." In any case, it sure was a treat to spot this one. It was sitting on that log, in a small new side channel that was created by the current high water on the Bow River. It kept an eye on us as we moved around for a better shot, but never took flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
