Showers were in the forecast for all day yesterday and we had a big storm the night before, so I decided to stay in my own area to walk around. Of course, I brought my camera and hoped that the rain would hold off until after I returned home. My first sighting was a man… Continue reading A Walk in between Rain Showers

White-tail Deer on my Doorstep
A White-tail Deer and her 3 fawns have been on the area in front of my window for the last several days. The first pictures were taken from my window looking over a field just past the parking lot in July and August – up to yesterday. This morning, I found them on my doorstep. … Continue reading White-tail Deer on my Doorstep
English Garden/Leo Mol in Assiniboine Park
The last few weeks, people have been posting pictures in a Manitoba Bird page on FaceBook that I follow. They indicate they are finding Indigo Buntings in the English Garden in Assiniboine Park. I have never seen one of these birds and decided to head there with my camera and see if I could find… Continue reading English Garden/Leo Mol in Assiniboine Park
Toby Time
Last week, I spent a couple of days with my big buddy Toby, while his family was out of town. This guy keeps me moving! 🙂 I took a few pictures to share with everyone. Too many pictures to show full sized, but you can click on one and scroll through the larger sizes. He… Continue reading Toby Time
Prairie Dogs at Fort Whyte Alive
The Prairie Dog town at Fort Whyte Alive is one area you can visit without paying admission fee. These guys live just outside the entrance. I often stop in my car on the way out of there to take pictures if I see any activity. They can sure be fun to watch sometimes. I have… Continue reading Prairie Dogs at Fort Whyte Alive
Bison at Fort Whyte Alive
These Bison were quite a distance away from the viewing areas, but I managed to zoom in enough so that, combined with cropping, I got some 1/2 decent photos. They have a nice herd of Bison at Fort Whyte Alive and it is nice to be able to see them in the city. They have… Continue reading Bison at Fort Whyte Alive
Red-wing Blackbirds at Fort Whyte Alive
A few Red-wing Blackbirds were co-operative enough to pose for me while I wandered around at Fort Whyte Alive the other day. I could have just sat somewhere and let more birds come to me, but 1/2 my reason for being there was to walk – so I kept walking.
Canada Geese at Fort Whyte Alive
Some Canada Geese and Goslings were active at Fort Whyte Alive the other day, so I got some pictures of them. Everything is so peaceful, so you can almost forget you are in the city while walking here.
Little Guys at Fort Whyte Alive
I got a few non-bird pictures while walking around at Fort Whyte Alive the other day. The next three were all crossing the path I was walking on. In a place like this (even right in the city) it is all natural and you never know what you might find there. I have seen caterpillars… Continue reading Little Guys at Fort Whyte Alive
Ducks at Fort Whyte Alive
Yesterday, I showed you the Pelicans at Fort Whyte Alive and today it is time for some ducks. It was a beautiful morning for a stroll and most of the critters were fairly co-operative. More to come tomorrow.
