I chose a couple of species to apply the lesson. In winter a lot of activity may be found on the river, in this case the Bow, which flows through Calgary where I live. So morning pictures from the east bank were productive.
I chose the Goldeneye which are plentiful and fun to watch feeding in the current I was hoping to find a Barrow’s Goldeneye which are uncommon, although there have been recent sightings.
Also along the river are Bald Eagles swooping on their prey from the shore. In this case what looks like a second year immature.
