Both very nice. Love the look of the tundra in the second shot.

What's so striking about Waterton is that you look one way - serious mountains, the opposite way - essentially prairie. Very nice shot.

Thanks, Jack! Yes, the ying and the yang.

Good old Saskatchewan! Have you posted any meadowlark photos? I remember them being on almost every fence post back in the 70's. None where I am.

I only have one meadowlark photo and it's not a very good one. There are oodles of the creatures around here. Every fencepost and telephone pole and whatnot... You hear their song constantly out in the country. They seem to be especially wary, however, and it's hard to get close to them. The one shot I did get was a bit of an anomaly. I was driving down a grid road and came to a stop sign. There was a meadowlark perched on top of the sign and, shock of shock, he didn't move when I stopped a few feet from him. I took a quick shot out of the window of the car. it didn't turn out to be a great picture despite the never to be regained opportunity.

OK, your next assignment is a meadowlark and it better be good. I'll be watching for it on the bird thread!
