We conducted the 2001 Breeding Bird Survey of the Grass River and Cranberry routes in Manitoba on June 5 and 6. Visit Schmidt Studio 201 when you are in the Flin Flon and Creighton area. A Haunting Sun will be published by Thistledown Press in September 2001. The Willow Ptarmigan pictured above was sitting in the willows in our front yard in Creighton, Saskatchewan.
Ptarmigan visit our yard every winter.
All photographs on these web pages were taken by Harvey Schmidt. The webring graphics were provided by the webrings. The hazards are many but the rewards are well worth the risk. Patience is a virtue and in no case is this more true than in the sport of birdwatching. Add to the mix a couple who shares this passion and more than just patience comes in to play.
