Yesterday I posted Tony LePrieur’s photos of the damage at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, and some of the birds he saw there. Here are more of his shots of birds at the sanctuary, all taken in early June 2014.
Baltimore Oriole.
Common Goldeneye with chicks.
Red-tailed Hawk.
Red-tailed Hawk.
Western Wood-Pewee.
House Finch.
Northern Flicker.
Spotted Sandpiper.
Warbling Vireo.
Tree Swallow.
Downy Woodpecker.
Double-crested Cormorants.
Blue-winged Teal.
American Robin, possibly banded at the sanctuary.
Wood Ducks.
Spotted what looked like a pair of Great Egret close to the zoo bridge @ 6:15 tonight. Have a photo but not downloaded yet. Do they come into this area often? I thought they were a southern bird.
They are quite rare in southern Alberta. Usually only single birds have been seen in wetlands here. Would be very unusual to see two anywhere, especially in the city. Were they white? Send the photo if you can.
