Bow River, E end of Fish Creek Park
On 14 September 2014, almost on the spur of the moment, I decided to join friends for a birding walk. The weather was so perfect, especially compared to the two consecutive snowstorms we had had on 9 and 10 September, that damaged thousands of trees in the city!
After a quick look for birds along the avenue of trees near Fish Creek Provincial Park headquarters, we drove down to the Boat Launch area and from there we walked south along the Bow River. This river is well-known for its excellent fishing. The Ospreys were flying near the river and we saw one of them carrying a fish to take back to their nest. We saw 30 bird species, but nothing close enough for photos. Thought I would post this photo, taken that day, to give an idea of one of the places I occasionally go to with birding friends. After an enjoyable walk, a few of us called in at Tim Horton's for coffee and a snack.
From there, I called in at a different part of the park and watched a family of Beavers swimming in their pond. While I was waiting, hoping that they might appear, so many American Robins were flying from branch to branch in the nearby trees and bushes. I always feel that Robins are so much taken for granted. Eventually, after a long wait, the Beaver's appeared. It was always such a treat to watch this family, especially the young ones.
