Friday's walk in Bebo Grove in Fish Creek Provincial Park was quite interesting. Our Field Trip was hosted by Nature Calgary. Bebo Grove is a very pretty walk. The first two pictures are right along the creek.

The best pictures of the day seemed to be those that didn't include birds. After discussion, this seems to be a Chermock's Fritillary (Argynnis cybele pseudocarpenteri). Identification thanks to Inaturalist.org.

The best bird picture of the day was this female Merlin. It was early in the morning and there wasn't much light.

Following on the theme of not much light, this beautiful little juvenile female Rufous Hummingbird was seen by our sharp-eye leader. This is a tiny little bird at the end of a branch in the shade. It is however an uncommon sighting and certainly deserves to be shown on this blog. It is also a new Life Bird for me (122 and counting).

The flower of the day was this Water Smartweed (Persicaria amphibia). Identification thanks to Inaturalist.org.
