New Year 2024

This New Year I participated in a bird count at Mallard Point with other members of Nature Calgary. I also want to take more landscape pictures this year, so I arrived early so that I could catch the first sunrise of the year. 


iPhone 14, 6mm, ISO 50, 1/700, f/1.5. Jan 01, 2024, 8:35 am.


Olympus OMD M5ii, 14-150mm, 60mm, ISO 1250, 1/50, f/5.5. Jan 01, 2024, 9:10 am.

We counted 18 different species of birds that day and this Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) was one of my favourites.


Olympus OM-1, 100-400mm + MC20, 800mm, ISO 3200, 1/2000, f/16. Jan 01, 2024, 9:50 am.

This Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii) was also an interesting sighting and a new life bird for me (149 and counting). 


Olympus OM-1, 100-400mm + MC20, 800mm, ISO 10000, 1/1000, f/13. Jan 01, 2024, 9:15 am.

This White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) was nicely highlighted in the old log.

Happy New Year!
