On Saturday and Sunday I participated in the May Bird Count. On Saturday I walked the Kinniburgh Pond and surrounding neighbourhood near Chestermere and on Sunday I drove the Priddis area and stopped once in a while to look for birds. My favourite pictures of the day were of some Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis).

The prettiest birds of the day were a Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides) and its partner.

Adding to my life-list of birds was an Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus).

It certainly was a great day for seeing birds, but it was also a great drive in the countryside.
