Male and female Northern Shoveller.
Male yellow-legged gull. This one is nicknamed Pyscho locally. Very aggressive to other birds and eats lots of Canada Goose eggs and mallard chicks.
Lastly, my candidate for badly named bird: black-headed gull

Another, what's this, June in Alberta. My best guess is a Lesser scaup pair but the female is lacking the characteristic white cheeks.

The little guy i believe is a Western Wood peewee.

Hi Jack.
No idea what they are, but the little fellow on the bottle is real nice. Looks like he has a good meal there.

Cheers, Graham.

Nice pictures again Jack, I especially like the second one; carrying its set of spare wings ;)
