On Friday I went on a solo walk at Carburn Park. The birding has been very good there all winter long, and it didn't disappoint on Friday. There were four Trumpeter Swans (Cygnus buccinator) on the river, three completely white and one grey; the grey being a cygnet, this year's hatch.

There have been lots of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) on this section of the river, and a mature eagle perched across the river from the path. On this trip I was trying to avoid the "bird in a box" look of many of my pictures and included more background or foreground.

The Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) were flying along the river quite a bit, and I was able to take a couple of action shots.

There were seven White-tail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) seen in the bushes, one group of three and one of four. There were no bucks in the groups.

This winter we have enjoyed a lot of sunny days, and we are lucky to enjoy so many green spaces right in the City of Calgary.
