Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move

Summer Influx of Birds


There were a lot of new faces on the Athabasca River today! I am not sure who this guy is, but he was having a lot of fun in the current.

This one is a Hooded Merganser with his hood down That is a sign of a contented Merganser.



This Common Goldeneye just flipped and caught a minnow head down!


Here are two more Goldeneyes
A Drake Mallard up against an ice bank
A Hen Mallard at rest

Then we have an American Wigeon.


I was wondering what these Canada Geese were picking at. It turns out the ice is covered with very small flying insects.
