On Monday I headed out for a walk as the weather was about to turn, and Monday was going to be the last warm, sunny day for a while. Old Refinery Park is on the east side of the Bow River, by the Calf Robe Bridge.

The sun was brilliant that day, and the birds were pairing off. They had all their brilliant colours on display to attract a mate and were very vocal. This American Robin (Turdus migratorius) was the first robin of the year that I was able to photograph.

The colours of the Northern Flickers (Colaptes auratus) were particularly prominent and they were making a lot of noise.
When the light hit the European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), their feathers lit up.

Even the Common Ravens (Corvus corax) were getting into the act of pairing up. So many calls and songs!
