Solitary Sandpiper
I was seated at a bench and could hear this one calling very close by, but couldn't figure out where it was. Then I heard it calling and further away. I finally realized that it had been about 5 feet in front of me on a little log right against the shoreline but hidden by a small embankment. I got these photos at about 30 feet.

This little one put on a bit of a show for us, it was quite interesting to watch as it rooted around the branches for food.

Fort Whyte Alive Photos - Sept 2014

Photos from a trip to Fort Whyte Alive in September.
A great outing saw lots of birds, spent over 4 hours wandering around taking in nature.
Added Caspian Tern to my list, they are not endangered here anymore but they are not very common to see.
