Plains Bison Up-Close ~ An early morning visit to Elk Island, east of Edmonton, Alberta, gave wonderful views of herds of Plains Bison. This bull bison was at the side of a road, and though moving around and snorting, allowed me this up-close view.
~ This beautiful dragonfly was one of thousands I saw flying in Alberta, at Wabamum Village, by Lake Wabamum, west of Edmonton.,
Pika at Jasper ~ This very cute Pika was the only wildlife I saw when I went up the Jasper Gondola to "high country" above treeline. My goal was White-tailed Ptarmigan and Grey Crowned Rosy Finches, other tundra creatures. They were smarter than I, who found myself in lightning, thunder, rain, fog, snow and hail for 5 hours! Only the Pika ventured out, so I was glad to see him, for sure. Judith Sparhawk
