Went south of Calgary for some pics this morning after work.

Although I've seen a few Goldfinches, I've never gotten a decent shot, so I'm adding this to my list of new birds. That's two in one day, saw my first Red-breasted Merganser at the same spot.

Not a great shot, but this is my only shot of a male goldfinch. Interesting note to this shot, 30 seconds before this shot was taken, a male mountain bluebird was sitting right next to him. That would have been the shot of the day. Seen SW of Calgary.

On May 25 I went down south to the Frank Lake area and then to the NE of Calgary west of Strathmore.

Seen at Wyndham Carseland Provincial Park.
