Crooked Nose

I took lots of photos of this bear as I kept thinking it would 'unbend' its nose! After a few minutes I just accepted that not all bears have a straight nose!

Which way should we go?

Momma and son looking in all directions! They eventually wandered into the woods...

Rusty Blackbird

So cool to watch a flock of migrating Rusty Blackbirds foraging in shallows!

Rusty Blackbird migratory flock

On a road trip, I stopped to stretch my legs and walked across a bridge. I noticed fluttering in the red osier dogwood bushes and realized a flock of Rusty Blackbirds were feasting on the berries. Their beautiful color blended in with the reds of the dogwood!

Bears are enjoying the fall harvest

Farmers are cutting down their crops and the bears are benefitting! They are cleaning up all the cuttings that don't make it into the trucks! Hyperpaghia is in full swing!

Beary Good Night!

I was sitting and watching 2 bears in their respective sides of the field when this cutie sits up and stares into the forest. Sure enough a third bear walked out of the forest and moved forward to the front of the field. They all checked each other out and then respectfully foraged leaving adequate amounts of space between each other.

On Alert

I was a considerable distance away watching this large bear forage. I knew right away that something changed as it stopped eating and stared into the forest. Sure enough, another bear stepped out of the shadows. They assessed each other and then both proceeded to forage, each in their own area on opposite sides of the field. Sure wish I had the senses of the wild animals.

Mud Face

From far away, I couldn't tell what was wrong with this bear's face. I thought perhaps it was a form of piebald, albinism or vitiligo. I waited while it slowly foraged in my direction. I had a good laugh at myself when it got close enough for me to see that it was merely mud! :)

Backlit surprise

While driving down a country road, even though I was looking straight into the setting sun, I could see there was a 'critter' in the field. Of course I had to pull over to see what it was. As it came closer, I eventually recognized it was a donkey!

Canada Goose & Spring Colour

This image of a Canada Goose was made on an April morning despite its autumn look. The rising sun lit the trees, grasses and red osier dogwood with a spectacular warm glow. This phenomenon seems only to happen in the early spring. Once the plants have new foliage, the warm sunlit glow is cooled by the leaves' green chlorophyll.

Gingerly Walking By

The Greater Yellowlegs gingerly walks in front of a Great Blue Heron, who keeps a watchful eye on its presence appearing completely motionless.

Shoreline Curves & Mist

In September we camped on a lovely point on Biggar Lake in Algonquin Park for a couple of nights. The first morning arrived cool and bright with heavy mist rising from the water. I got low and made this image of the curvy shoreline with one of the surrounding ridges shrouded with low cloud in the background. I feel a monochrome edit best highlights the contrasting shapes and textures of the photo.

I captured this shot of the hawk on a winter morning at the University of Guelph Arboretum.
