He ain’t Sorry, he’s a Sora!

The ever elusive Sora, often heard but not often seen. That changed for me Sunday evening when myself, hubby, brother-in-law and his wife, met up at my new favourite birding spot here in Alberta…..Big Lake.

There have been, six noted couples here this spring and we were thrilled to observe three individual ones. Thank goodness for the continuous shooting setting on my camera cuz I wasn’t going to miss a shot of this wonderful little bird.

Here’s just a few of the hundreds I took. Hope you enjoy!

    1. Thanks Robin. I had only seen a quick glance of one out at Reifel and it was actually quite accidental that I did. I was zooming in on a mallard when a sora scurried past.
