North Glenmore Park 2 - Calgary, AB

2022 - May 15

On the morning of May 15th I went to North Glenmore Park to try and expand/improve on the photos I'd taken the previous day there. During my 2 visits to the park, there turned out to be far too many photos to put all in one gallery. So, the photos are split into 3 separate galleries; this one, another of various birds from May 14th plus a few others, and a separate gallery for a Canada Goose family that didn't seem to mind me getting fairly close for some decent close-up shots. I wasn't actually all that close, but definitely closer than the usual with regard to wildlife. When shooting with 700mm of lens, and a slight cropping of the photos here and there, it sure can appear that way. You can go directly to the first gallery (May 14th/15th) by clicking/tapping​​​​​​​ here, or the Canada Goose family gallery by clicking/tapping here. Simply scroll down/swipe up to view this current gallery. Enjoy!
