The sun was fast setting when we came across this owl. I was thrilled that I managed to get some shots of it hunting before the sun went behind the clouds once again.

While most migratory birds had flown south for the winter, the late arrival of cold winter and snow had made many birds to linger and stay around for the unusually warm autumn until it was too late.
It must have been a challenge, but this little Chipping Sparrow had managed to survive the brutally cold temperature across Alberta during that week and a half in January. Temperatures had dipped below -48C in some areas.
I spotted it foraging for seeds at the base of the pine trees where the snow was not as thick and seeds were readily available. It looked a bit haggard but appeared to be doing well.

Legs splayed and tail cocked.
Taking a break from its rapid-fire advertising call, this dapper Marsh Wren struck an eye-catching pose atop the reeds.
