This evening, 30 May 2022, I am posting the first five photos taken on 25 May 2022, when my daughter and I enjoyed a day trip south and south-east of Calgary. Once I have created an album for this drive, I need to edit and paste a few photos from yesterday, 29 May 2022, when I took part in the annual May Species Bird Count, with three friends. I love the area that we cover each year, as part of the area is one of my main, favourite locations to explore. First, though, a few images taken on 25 May.
My daughter and I were finally able to get together on 25 May. I think we have only managed to go for a drive once this year, back in March. This time, our drive was very similar to the long drive I had done on 22 May, though more in reverse order.
I was hoping that my daughter and I might see at least some of the birds that I was lucky enough to see three days earlier. We did see one of the Ferruginous Hawks, but were out of luck for the Great Horned Owl. This was a special Mother's Day/Birthday trip, so we called in at the Saskatoon Farm for a delicious breakfast first thing in the morning, before the main drive. As always, it felt so good to see some of the farm cats and dogs, each one so special. We also had a quick stop at Frank Lake straight after the Farm, before heading south.
Enough birds everywhere to keep us happy most of the day, though not the best conditions for photography. I was really hoping that the weather would improve as the day wore on. Nothing could spoil my favourite kind of day, though, with a whole day spent with my daughter and her 'eagle eyes'. A total of 309 km, roughly 9 hours.
