Fall season sucks...when it comes to birding. Well, I dig some shots from one of my birding trip last Aug. 5 and 6, 2008 at Elk Island National Park. Located less than an hour away from Edmonton, Elk Island National Park of Canada protects the wilderness of the aspen parkland, one of the most endangered habitats in Canada. This beautiful oasis is home to herds of free roaming plains bison, wood bison, moose, deer, and elk. Also boasting over 250 species of birds, the park is a bird watcher's paradise. Be it for wildlife viewing, hiking, cross-country skiing, picnicking or overnight camping, there is something for everyone at Elk Island National Park. Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) 30D, 600mmF4, ISO200, f/6.3, 1/1600sec, AV mode on tripod Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) same set-up except for a Canon 1.4x TC some kind of gull? same set-up, 1/2000sec., f/8 wood pewee/least flycatcher? 30D, 100-400LIS @400mm, handheld red-eye vireo? 30D, 100-400LIS @400mm, 1/1250sec, handheld yellow warbler 30D, 100-400LIS @400mm, f/5.6, 1/250sec, ISO400 on monopod deer? 30D, 600+1.4TC bison 30D, 100-400LIS @285mm rest on van's window

Looks like an interesting place Ed, you're lucky to be near a place like that. www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/ab/elkisland/index_e.aspBut winter over there is unbearable, you basically hibernate. Unless of course you like winter sports. ;D
