- W13769742 abstract "As we continued south we observed a huge flock of passerines flying in a field. We pulled over quickly, but not quick enough. Our hearts sank, but we were determined, and started walking through the field. As we approached the area where we had seen the birds, a huge flock rose into the air right from under our feet . . . still not identifiable. We crouched down and decided to wait for their return. We were encouraged by two other new species: Savannah Sparrow and Northern Harrier. Luck was with us, as five minutes later the flock of unknown passerines came back and landed within 50 meters. We raised our binoculars only to find that we still could not see them. They seemed to just disappear into the ground. But with a little more persistence we were able to start seeing them walking slowly through the stubble and identified Lapland Longspurs and Horned Larks, two species we had not counted on. Our next stop would be Elk Island. As we entered the park, two huge white birds were seen across a pond, one on a nest, the other in the water. With collars on their necks there could be no mistake, Trumpeter Swans. More waterfowl species were added to our list and a Wilson’s Phalarope pair circled in the water dredging up food. A short walk near Astotin Lake proved worthwhile as we added Pileated Woodpecker, Blackpoll Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Warbling Vireo. We continued our journal south by 2 p.m. Tofield Cemetery would be our next stop, and with ease we added a Great Horned Owl to the list (a previously known nest). The Tofield Nature Centre bird condos were home to Purple Martins and we were also amused to see House Sparrows sharing the accommodation. As we pulled in to the Beaverhill Bird Observatory lab, Tyler Flockhart greeted us and pointed out the Pine Siskins that had recently joined the goldfinches at the feeders. A walk to the weir provided us with Marbled Godwit, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Marsh Wren. Finally, as we departed the BBO a House Wren bid us farewell. The south and supper beckoned us, and Jason knew of a great Greek restaurant in Stettler. We stopped en route to listen and look for birds and were successful in adding Common Snipe. At the small town of Andrew, we were elated to find the world’s largest Mallard, although Jason and I agreed it was difficult to identify. A quick stop at produced little, so we pushed onwards and added Loggerhead Shrike to the list. As we drove through Stettler, Jason remarked that the restaurant was no longer there. We stopped for gas and it was suggested we eat at a hotel restaurant down the road. With Greek on my mind, I had to order the spinach and feta stuffed chicken. We were disappointed at having no birds added in a while, but as if to lift our spirits, a Herring Gull sat atop a light standard right outside the restaurant!!" @default.
