Birds of Southern Saskatchewan:

On the morning of June 13th, we saw 48 species in and around this Prairie Lake!

Yellow-headed Blackbirds were abundant throughout the prairies! When they call, their "squawk" sounds like they are being stepped on.

Franklin's Gull

Green-winged Teal

Marbled Godwit! I have never been so close to this species!

White-faced Ibis - a life bird for me!

As we walked down the road a Willet circled overhead.

Another first was watching Wilson's Phalaropes walk down the road! I usually see them spinning in circles in the water as they hunt for insects.16 were active in the area!
