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.

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