Summer residents at Frank Lake
Frank Lake is just east of High River in southern Alberta and is a great location for birding throughout the year. In the summer, ibis, herons, avocets, blackbirds, ducks, pelicans and a menagerie of other avians congregate there for their summer residence.
On a recent visit, I enjoyed watching and photographing a number of these birds. The Black-crowned night heron above was of particular interest to me as it stalked along this fence above a stream where it emptied into the lake.

i have seen many photos from Frank Lake -a prolific host for so many species, a place that I hope to visit. Enjoyed your photos , especially the “down the hatch ” with the pelicans and the sunlit mood of the adult bird carrying food, perhaps to the young ones..
