There's always the possibility of finding something rare too, and I'm always on the lookout for mammals that I've not seen before!

Christmas Bird Counts...
Well, its that time of year again, and I'm happy to be doing another batch of bird counts, six to be exact.

Haha Thanks Grace, the same to you !
Excellent capture Nick; and good luck with the bird counts. Hope you manage a few lifers. :-)
Oh I do love our Flickers and this is certainly one beautiful image...great timing!
Great shot ! Do you see hybrids (red shated yellow shafted)in Saskatoon ? In Regina I saw a male this summer with a red and black malar. By the way, do you know if this year is irruptive for snowy owls ? I saw a young male last weekend at Balgonie standing on a hydro pole beside highway #1. I did not see snowys last year.
Thanks guys. Yep, we definitely get hybrids here. Had one in the backyard last year in fact!
There is a Snowy Owl irruption going on right now as I type this. They are all over North America it seems.
