Erik Butters' Ranch

A handful of us spent the morning walking on the Ranch property belonging to Erik Butters, out past Cochrane, NW of the city. The plants that were growing there were recorded, as were the birds that were seen or heard. This photo shows what Erik's land is like - rolling, open hills covered in wildflowers and areas of woodland, with the Rocky Mountains in the distance. Around noon, Erik and his partner provided a great BBQ for us and for the people who had joined us from elsewhere. The food was delicious! Thank you so much, both of you!
