On a Wing and a Prayer ...

The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air.  
~Wilbur Wright


The landscapes they would see and the trials and tribulations they must conquer to make it back North to their breeding grounds ... 
 










Just a handful of Snow Geese ... making a pit stop while migrating North! 

April Aurora


During the 10th and 11th of April ... Lady Aurora danced once again!

Migration ...

My soul is in the sky.  
~William Shakespeare




The grace and beauty of Spring Migration ... like the Aurora Borealis, one never tires of seeing the birds return after a long winter!

North ...


As we bid farewell to the Snowy Owls that share our winters with us, we say "hello" to the returning Western Meadowlarks and their sweet, sweet serenade!  Spring migration is  in full swing with our birds returning daily and those that are flying thru to points North!

As We Roll Into April ...

Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers. 
~Byron Caldwell Smith



This time of the year has everyone re-exploring the world that was held captive by Winter!  The sun is warm, the colours return and 'Winter' argues with 'Spring' ...


















Wishing You All a Happy Easter!
