These are a group of wood ticks. The two that are large have gorged themselves; the smallest one is normal sized as it had not yet latched on.
Raptor Identification – Help!
Unidentified
I am not a raptor specialist and could use your help identifying this species. This photo was taken in south-eastern Alberta grassland habitat. Comments are appreciated…thank you in advance.

Photo taken at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, Chilliwack, BC. There is a colony of Great Blue Heron there with over 100 nests.
Into personal space
This little rabbit stayed perfectly still; truly believing that I couldn’t see it.

I took this photo and moved slowly away. It continued to sit right there as I left. This was in rattlesnake country – it doesn’t look promising for this little fella’.
