Back to Reifel

 

I have really been missing  time with my friend Kim and the time would would spend at Reifel so when I flew back to B.C. for a visit, I made sure a date was set to get together and go.

The weather was perfect and the birds were waiting. Here’s just a few of our feathered friends we had the pleasure to observe.

  5. Robbie, wonderful shots! Reifel is such a wonderful place. I was there on a school field trip around the time you were there. I hadn't been for a couple of months, shame shame! I got some good shots too! Hard to get much when chaperoning 20 8 year olds, but did get a few!

    1. I miss Reifel living in Alberta and even though it was very quiet (bird wise) the day Kim and I were there, we still saw many wonderful sights.

  7. Lots of lovely photos here--love the sandhill crane. We have lots of them here, where I live now--I had never seen them before moving here. I'm still in awe of them--and the babies are so aorable when they hatch.
