Mallard Point, September 9, 2023

Saturday was Maria's birthday. I sang happy birthday to her even though she is gone. Such an emotional day and I needed to get out of the house. Nature Calgary held a field trip at Mallard Point in SE Calgary, just off of Canyon Meadows Drive.  Arriving a little early I was able to photograph a person fly fishing. He had waded a long way out from the shore; the water must be pretty shallow there.

The Osprey were very active. One perched right above us by the river and watched the water for fish - it also watched us pretty closely.

While we were watching the Osprey, it dove to the water and picked up a fish.
