Sunday Showcase: Bald Eagle Fledgling
Rob English got these photos of a recently fledged Bald Eagle in Carburn Park in early August 2012. The bird had just recently left the nest across the river.
There was one of the adult eagles with this young one:
Sunday Showcase: Snow Bunting
Michael Pott saw this Snow Bunting posing nicely on a fence post on Dunbow Road last week, just SE of the city. These birds are usually seen in here in the winter in large flocks, in open rural areas.

Wednesday Wings: Golden Eagle & Snowy Owls
Mitchell Kranz spotted this juvenile Golden Eagle on January 20 near Lake McGregor, northeast of Vulcan.
The same day, he also saw no less than 15 Snowy Owls between there and Blackie.
You can see more of Mitchell’s photos here.
Wednesday Wings: Crossbills
These photos were taken by Tim Hopwood over the past two weeks in various locations within the city of Calgary. The first four photos show Red Crossbills (which seem to be more abundant than usual in the city this winter), and the rest are White-winged Crossbills.
To see more of Tim’s photos, see his blog, Tim J. Hopwood Images.
Wednesday Wings: Northern Hawk-Owl Chick
Rob English was lucky enough to get these photos of a Northern Hawk-Owl chick in May 2012. This was from the pair that nested just off Grand Valley Road, NW of Cochrane. Rob says that to his knowledge, this was the first day out of the nest for this fledgling, and it was very busy exploring its environment!
