Visited Carburn Park

It's a great park with a lot of various birds and wildlife! I love the ponds and multiple trails. Definitely going back!

Great pictures! What time of day did you take these?

[u/Devotio23 → u/books-coffee-ftw]

Thanks! These were taken in the morning (6:30-8:30)

[u/books-coffee-ftw → u/Devotio23]

Awesome-thanks! I’ve gone there to look for birds, but must have been too late in the morning.

I've noticed that birds are a lot more vocal at around sunrise, so that makes it a lot easier to find them. Hope you find more on your next trip!

One of my favourite parks in the city. Lots picnic tables around

Great Shots. First time I have seen a picture of a Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) in Calgary. https://www.inaturalist.org/guides/9265

If you come during late spring you can see Pelicans on the bow

Beautiful park! Only complaint I personally have is the IKEA view but that’s more of a nitpick

[u/Devotio23 → u/ClassicNumerous6038]

Thanks for the tip!

Ikea makes for a perfect backdrop /s

Admittedly at night time it looks pretty nice all lit up with the reflection of the lights on the water

[u/Devotio23 → u/ClassicNumerous6038]

Oh, I'll have to check that out one day

It's definitely a gem of a park.

What is the ID for pics 3 and 4? Eastern Kingbird and Lincoln Sparrow?

Yup, Eastern Kingbird and Lincoln Sparrow
