On Saturday I joined a Nature Calgary field trip at North Glenmore Park. It was a chilly windy morning and while I was waiting for the other participants a group of Lesser Scaups quickly flew off the water. When I looked to see what spooked them, I spotted this Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus).

After leaving the rim of the reservoir and getting out of the wind, we were lucky to spot this female Pine Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator). This is a new life bird for me (145 and counting).

While at the North end of the park, this Downy Woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) was hunting for insects.

All summer and fall I have not seen a Green-winged Teal (Anas crecca), and we saw four at one time in a small ice free area on a pond.
