On Saturday, Nov 4th, I drove to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary for a walk. While there I ran into a Field Trip group from Nature Calgary. Toward the end of the walk a few of us took a second look for Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) as we hadn't seen any yet. For the last few months I have been seeing a female on each walk, and this time we were lucky enough to find a male. Maybe owletts next spring!

We were very lucky that the owl positioned itself in the tree just right, and we enjoyed watching the beautiful bird.
Earlier in the morning I was lucky to spot these Hooded Mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus); three males, one adult and two juveniles. The fall colours reflecting off the water add a lot to the picture.
