What a day! Trish and I started out on the west side of Calgary, headed north to Cochrane and then cut across to the Airdrie area. We saw a total of 54 red-tailed hawks(most I've seen in a day), kestrels, merlins, horned larks, western meadowlarks, roughies, trumpeter swans, dark eyed juncos, american tree sparrows(my first) and our first swainson's hawk sighting of the season.
This is the first time I've seen an american tree sparrow. A bunch were hanging out with some dark-eyed juncos south of Cochrane.
