Today along the Bow River - June 2012

This small water bird was hopping about the floating vegetation, 
between the fast running Bow River and a quiet back eddy.
Can someone identify the bird for me?

Rain Returns

A low pressure system forming in the Edmonton area will slowly slide southeastward Wednesday, drawing moist air and rainfall into southern Alberta. In Calgary, we can expect dry conditions during the drive to work Wednesday morning. Not long afterward, rain will start to fall, and intensify into the afternoon. Because of the wet weather, the temperature will remain steady near 13 degrees. The rain tapers off Wednesday night, and we will have a sunnier morning Thursday. Heat from the sun will likely generate convective clouds by the afternoon, raising the possibility of thunderstorms.
