This rare visitor to a city park in Calgary has been seen there for over a week now, by SO many birders/photographers. Sometimes it cooperates, sometimes it doesn't. Today, I was only able to see it from a great distance. Cropped heavily and good enough for ID purposes. What a beautiful bird it is, and it was a thrill to see it.
Back on 11 May 2021, I was fortunate enough to see a different Lewis's Woodpecker at another city park. That day, I was able to get closer photos, seen in my Lewis's Woodpecker album,
This was a visit just to hopefully see the woodpecker. I didn't walk further - too much pain. The handsome American Robin just happened to be searching for food for its babies right where I was standing.
Actually, the best sighting of all was seeing several long-time friends that I haven't seen for such a long time. Felt so good to see and talk with them.
