Another long day, making the most of my car's air-conditioning.
Yesterday, 17 August 2022, I had another fairly long day, 305 km in total. Once again, I travelled S and then SE of Calgary, first calling in at the Saskatoon Farm for breakfast and to buy some fresh fruit and vegetables. Felt good to know that the new potatoes that I had for supper yesterday had been in the ground earlier in the day. Same with the broccoli, that was picked before I arrived at the Farm. The fresh fruit, such as peaches and nectarines, comes from BC (British Columbia).
From the Farm, I drove a familiar route southward, seeing a number of hawks - maybe 10 or so during the whole day. Seeing two Ferruginous Hawks was a treat, as always, even though they were far away. Such a lack of smaller birds - it was strange not seeing Vesper Sparrows and Savannah Sparrows on lots of fence posts. Instead, I saw a number of Great Blue Herons, which made a welcome change.
