This time of year is exciting. Birds are making their way north to their summer homes.
The Pembina Valley is one of the main migration corridors in Manitoba. Thousands of Eagles and Hawks make their way through this area every spring.
I had the chance recently to spend a few hours with a fellow birder, watching the spectacle in the sky.
Most numerous of the birds passing through is the Red-tailed Hawk, such as the one seen below.
Some smaller birds of prey also make their way through like this American Kestral, below.
As I said, the most numerous birds are the Red-tailed Hawk, but they come in varying morphs. Below is a dark morph, also known as a Harlan's Hawk, but is still a Red-tailed Hawk.
Of course there is no mistaking the beauty of a mature Bald Eagle. This one below is being followed closely by another Red-tailed Hawk.
As beautiful and majestic as the Bald Eagle is, seeing a Red-tailed Hawk in the blue sky is breathtaking.
The beauty we see in nature all around us is reason enough to give Praise to the Creator who made all this.
