If it were simple to post I have some amazing pictures I took of a mother canary feeding her chicks. The nest was right off my campsight last trip I went on. After a couple days the chicks were out of the nest and racing around on the ground like a cheeta on cowcain 😁. It was cool to watch!

It sure looks like a Woodcock. I grew up in SW Ontario and we hunted woodcock and that one sure looks like a woodcock but I doubt if we get them in Alberta

Canary!? Was your camping trip to the Macronesian Islands, or was it an escape from someone's cage?

Op is likely referring to the goldfinch. we always called them wild canaries.

The bird is fluorescent yellow with a darker yellow head. I looked the bird up and it appeared to be a canary. The picture was taken at buffalo lake about seven weeks ago. I just tried again and still says upload of file failed lol. Cool pic though. Sorry

The title asks if there are any bird watchers on site, there are. I am one of many here.
I also conduct bird watching outings for a friends guest ranch and I am a birdwatching pal. That is a volunteer organization that provides an internet platform for local bird watchers to offer help and advice to visitors or newcomers to their home region.
I also have tons of photos of local birds and animals, many of which I have posted here before.
I'll see if I can find something I haven't posted yet.

Hi I am new here and I do not have a picture to share, but I would like to share this with the bird watchers.

Last week I was walking around Lacombe Lake in St. Albert. While I was walking around the lake I noticed what I believed to be an Osprey hovering over the lake in circles around 200 feet up, he/she was obviously scoping it out so I stopped to watch what would happen. I knew there were fish in the lake because I had stopped in the past and asked people that were fishing there what they were fishing for? I was told gold fish, so I laughed to myself and went along my way thinking fishing for tiny gold fish that's funny!

Sure enough it was an Osprey and within 5 minutes of circling down it came really fast, it hit the water hard and to my amazement it took off with a gold fish in claws, not the type of gold fish that you see in an aquarium. this gold fish in my estimation was at least 5 lbs and it was gold in color because I could see the color perfectly!

Anyway a couple of days later I was doing my daily walk and the city was spraying the lake to kill these gold fish that are an invasive species because they want to stock trout in it. I looked in the lake and could not beleve all of the 5 lbs. + gold fish dying in the lake and flaoting to the surface.

If someone had of told me that I would witness an Osprey dive bombing a tiny lake in the city and see it fly away with a 5 lbs + fish I would never had believed them in a million years, yet it happened.

Only sad part of this story it that the Osprey will be gone now that all the fish are all dead. Fianlly a young boy caught a 16 lbs gold fish out of the lake about a week ago! Next time someone tells me they are fishing for gold fish in the city I am definately getting my fishing rod lol.
