A flock of Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons) so named because of the white feathers on the front of its face or sometimes referred to as Speckle-bellied Geese, because of the dark patches on their breast, rest on a small water body after feeding in a grain field near Tofield, Alberta, Canada. They will stage on the area and refuel before continuing their southward migration to the wintering areas.
The younger birds lack those dark patches on the breast and white facial plumage.

A Mountain Lion (Puma concolor) licks its lips in anticipation of a fine meal or just for relief of dry lips, only it would know for sure. We viewed this feline from our boat, a safe distance away, while on our way to Glendale Cove to photograph Grizzly Bears. The trip originated from Knight Inlet on the north end of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
