Lifers in the Water



 Barrow's Goldeneye on the Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon.


 Yellow-billed Loon at Gardiner Dam

 

Harlequin Duck, on the river in Saskatoon.

 

I've long wanted to see a Harlequin Duck in all its amazing beauty, but this one will have to do till I see that one.

It was amazing to get three lifers all in less than 10 days in November of 2021.  We haven't been able to travel far in the last two years, but have been blessed to see several Saskatchewan birds that we'd previously missed, and a few of the random birds that have ignored all the Covid restrictions and visited us.
