I'm looking forward to my next birding trip where I'll be visiting Saskatchewan again with my friend Tom Hince. Here are a few images from a trip we took last year to the western portion of the province, from Turtle Lake south to the Cypress Hills and Grasslands National Park.

Pronghorns were commonly seen during the trip.
I've never seen a Pronghorn jump over a fence.

Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteThe Nuttall's Cottontail photo is great. We don't have a photo of that species on E-Fauna so far and I was wondering how to tell it apart from the Eastern Cottontail.
