Rob McKay Photography Calgary Alberta

This is my fourth pair of great horned owls in less than three months, always fun to find and always difficult to photograph. These owls are always hiding in thick cover.

My second encounter with Alberta’s Yellow-headed Blackbirds. What a gourgous bird, and one I had never photographed before. These blackbirds and their amazingly bright yellow heads are new to me as they are not found in southern Ontario, so it was a real treat to see them here in Alberta.

Late this after noon I found a nesting pair of bald eagles. I found the adult pair, then I found the nest, I saw the two young in the nest ( I think two) with mom, then the adult male found me!

After hearing the news of the red fox & young, my 6 year old daughter and I went out after dinner in hopes of spotting her. I thought the den was in the gardens so we wandered around the north edge, eyes peeled! With or without a fox we had a great time, but after about 20min. we had a bonus!

A few photos of the White-breasted Nuthatch the first two are from Ontario, the last one is an Alberta bird.

I photographed this northern red shafted flicker in one of the many Calgary parks, this red shafted flicker was at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary.

Right next door to our site in the southern end of Calgary are these two Coyotes. Both the male and female coyotes are seen almost daily, the male is photographed below.

Redesigning my photography site, still lots to do but should have it done in the next day or two…
