This bird stood still on a fence post just long enough for the shot. On our most recent trip to Mac.

During a shuttle run a few days ago, just before the Bow River blew out again, we noticed an eagle feasting on some kind of 'river kill' that was tangled up in the mid-stream 'wood'. A magpie was helping out.

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?

The Bow River in Calgary has dropped about 130 cms over the past 48 hours.

Bow River at Calgary: 318 cms

Elbow River below Glenmore dam: 40 cms

Fish Creek: 5 cms

Highwood River near the mouth: 95 cms

Total Bow River flow below Highwood: 458 cms

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.
