I have a feeling someone is watching me... *American Coot staring into your soul* #birds 🪶

Sh**ty pictures. Literally 😅 #birds 🪶

White-tailed deer encounter in the golden hour.

Western Meadowlark showing off his color and feathers. #birds 🪶

Blow, blow, blow bubbles. Blue beak blows bubbles. Bubbly, bubbly, bubbly, bubbly, Ruddy blows bubbles. *Sing it to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” #birds 🪶

Monkey with spikes 😂

Behold - you are being scolded by the red-necked grebes for disrupting their date. #birds 🪶

Not a common sighting walking on the trials by the river. I know Ospreys are here, but they are usually flying up high. What a surprise to see one sitting still. I guess they need to take a rest, too 🤣 #birds 🪶

What I wanted to see: #Birds. What I saw instead 🤣:

One of our summer residents of the marshes is back, and that little pop of color brings a touch of vibrancy to the still-grey prairie. Male Yellow-headed Blackbird. #birds 🪶

Male Bufflehead swimming in golden water. #birds 🪶

Orange-crowned Warbler enjoying a good spring day after the snow storm last week. By the way, what orange!? 🤣 #birds

These are about all the feather of an American Kestrel. Thanks for watching. 🪶

American Kestrel back to the prairie and ready for a new season. 🪶

Fox sparrow is a big and gentle sparrow. 🪶

What's on the line? Who's on the line? Belted Kingfisher and Red-winged Blackbird.

Heart attack 😱😱😱 A Ruby-crowned kinglet! I seldom see any, and when I see them they are too quick to stop for any pictures. This one allowed me to take some pictures, before flexing its wings for me for a last and best picture of the series. I am still recovering 😱😱😱 🪶🪶🪶

Yellow-rumped warbler! 🪶 They came back to spend the time with us in the summer. Wish them a successful season! Well, first, the snow needs to be gone...

After a massive snow storm yesterday (2026-04-24!!!), this beauty visited our backyard in the morning. Such a joy to see her. Northern Flicker was the bird that got me into birding. 🪶

Mr. Mountain bluebird backlit by the evening sun. The first picture you can see the lady in the background. 🪶

Female downy woodpecker waiting for spring. 🪶

Peeking at the junco through the leaves. 🪶

The wise. 🪶

I couldn't get too close, but the color of the male mountain bluebird was stunning against the backdrop of the still-brown field. 🪶

Look over there! 🪶

It's been a Junco kinda day. 🪶

Lady mountain blue bird. 🪶

American Robin declares his return. 🪶

When Canada rules the world. Nanana nanana 🎤🎼🎷🪶

Short-eared owl fly-by. 🪶

What do you do when a Northern Harrier flies right at you? You panic and try to shoot it - with your camera. It would have been great - if only your camera could focus 😂🪶

Bohemian Waxwing on a snowy morning.

Western meadowlark is one of the most prolific singers on the Canadian prairies this time of the year. But you don't always see them though. This picture shows why. They hide in the grass and can be completely submerged. Once in a while they pop out to tease you though 😅 🪶

They are moving north now. See you next winter. Female snowy owl flying away. 🪶

Horned lark on the edge of a grid road.🪶

On a snowy morning, a flock of Bohemian Waxwings visited my mountain ash berry tree for breakfast. 🪶

Black-billed magpie show us his graceful side in front of the melting field. 🪶

A big flock of maybe ~1000 bohemian waxwings visited my mountain ash berry tree. And the berries did not stand a chance... 😂🪶

Reality check for grid-road birding in Saskatchewan. It's not that often that we can get close-up shots 😂 🪶

Jesus is risen!

Behold, Western Meadowlarks have returned. 🪶🎤🎶

Toy or food? Bohemian waxwing vs. crabapple. 🪶

Rough-legged hawk is also back and was looking for his rodent friends. 😅 🪶

The hawks are back. We see a greater variety of them in the spring and fall as they pass through. This is a ferruginous hawk—a lifer for me. We don’t usually see them in the middle of summer, so it was great to encounter this beautiful bird. 🥰🪶

A close-up of a Bohemian Waxwing devouring a crabapple. They can hold a lot in their throat and tummy. And they DO NOT have table manner. 🤣 🪶

Enjoy 30 seconds of Bohemian Waxwings feasting on a crabapple tree. Sound on please. 🪶

I almost drove pass this female snowy owl when my wife spotted it. So glad we got to record this encounter. 🥰 🪶

The tree has been decorated. Bohemian waxwings. 🪶

A little fluff ball on a tree with some texture. Red-breasted nuthatch. 🪶

Bohemian waxwings are quite active in my neighborhood lately. 🪶
