Their population is rather low and they migrate usually in October to November heading south.
So the odds to go north is low. But who knows, they may show up in Edmonton in a couple of days!
These birds were in a rush, resting for about 15 minutes and gone. I couldn't get a good peak and just a few snaps.
Yes, I know that was a challenging request!
But at least it's interesting to ponder that global warming may indeed give me the opportunity on day.Jack
It is always nice to photograph a new bird , not a good picture but a good bird. Yellow-billed Cuckoo

! "Yes, I know that was a challenging request! " - you are a minimalist obviously (and yes! - I understand your humor!)!Congratulations! "It is always nice to photograph a new bird ..." - tell me about this
! Sometimes I'm posting photos that are not to much in line - just because I'm so proud of my new catch On other hand it is always interesting to see new bird - at least for me...
It’s one of our two major goals; recording a new bird or getting a better photo of an older catch. Cuckoos are interesting birds. Well done.
Thanks ISv.This is why I love this thread because I get to see photographs of birds from places that I will never visit.Congratulations! "It is always nice to photograph a new bird ..." - tell me about this
Another great horned owl surrounded by Autumn leaves and rather hard to spot.
She was pretending to be sleep but with one eye open she was cautiously watching!

Thanks Click. This one was huge in size (females are larger than male) but well camouflaged and hard to spot. I needed to step back to have her in the frame.
I tried earlier this year to get a clean shot of one in Florida. This was the best one, but it meant a lot to me as it was my first of this incredible bird.
In spite of their rather big size, it is hard to find them here in Autumn because of their real good camouflage and even harder to get a clean picture of them. Perhaps when snow comes, they will be more visible.
This beautiful female Bufflehead duck was smiling when swimming away!
They have migrated to Calgary for winter. They are medium-distance migrants spending winter in south Alberta and northern US.

Still good Alan: the light in that scene is rather tricky. I have no idea how much time did you get to takes the photos (sometimes it is miserable - if not most of the time
). If I had enough time I wold exposure for the highlights and in PP will lift the rest... Sometimes there is no time and back in the time there was not enough knowledge (or most probably lack of experience) for me to make fast adjustments.Any way - I still have to see that bird - you are lucky!
Bhf3737 - Really nice one!!!
It looks like she knows you have a rush for her (I would have too - I still have to take a photo of that one!)!
