I work beside the Connaught Firing Range.... there are HUNDREDS of wild turkeys running through the area and lots through West Carleton... keep your eyes open for them in the fields just east of Eagleson/Queensway in the fall after they harvest the corn...

WOW, what a bunch of lovely shots this week!!

nineyards, you're right and I must take more advantage of the river valley but I'm spoiled sitting out on an acreage with quite a few species around me. Not an excuse I know. :(

It's been one week exactly since I headed for Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. I saw so few birds and animals I couldn't be live it. Lots of buttterflies and beautiful wild flowers though, especially on the high mountain trails. Not one bird to post here until I was back within 25 miles of Edmonton at lake Wabamun. I blinked and this greebe came out of nowhere and disappeared not to be seen again. Too far for a great shot but I'm still pleased.
