Bird Count at Frank Lake outflow
As my computer has not shut down for a while this evening, I thought I would make the most of it and post a few more photos. WIsh I knew what makes it freeze and have to be turned off over and over again. Anyway, the five photos that I posted this evening were all taken on 18 December 2018, when I took part in the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for the town of High River, south of Calgary. As usual, my lens turned to anything else that caught my eye, Including old barns, old cars, and farm cats.
Lots of open water at Frank Lake this year - but, where were all the birds?! All we saw there were two American Coots.
The weather was beautiful for us, which makes the difference. No snow on the ground either, which makes our searches so much easier. The Count last year had awful weather with a dreadful snow storm blowing in while we were having a Potluck supper. I was just so thankful that I wasn't the one driving back to Calgary in the dark and the blowing snow. What we birding people do for the sake of citizen science, ha!
This year, we were unable to book the usual community centre for a Potluck supper afterwards, which was such a shame. It always makes a great ending to a long day of birding when we can get together afterwards and eat and chat.
