Sights and Sounds of Spring

With spring having arrived throughout southern Alberta, you will find the skies in the early morning alive with the sights and sounds of tens of thousands of migrating birds everywhere.
Early morning finds waterbirds lifting off of sloughs and meltwater ponds as they head over to a nearby field to feed in.

I caught these Tundra Swans as they flew parallel to my truck for a distance before setting their wings for an approach to a nearby field.

Soon they will continue their flight north as they make their way to their nesting grounds in the high Arctic.
