This is a larger file than most of my photos, thanks to adding a filter in post-processing, so I hope it doesn't take too long for it to open properly (i.e. sharply).

I joined nine birding friends on 25 March 2018 for a trip east of the city. Not a lot of birds to be seen, but we were lucky to start the day with a Brown Creeper and end the day with a single male Mountain Bluebird. This was the first Bluebird I had seen this year - they are just starting to arrive now. No Snowy Owls were seen. A new bird species for me was a juvenile Iceland Gull.

Of course, I grab any chance I get to take a photo of an old barn : ) This was a drive-by shooting, and I was able to twist round just enough to press the shutter button in time.
