Beaver!
Day before Canada Day and few animals are more iconically Canadian then the North American Beaver!
"Watch it!"
I was watching one Atlantic puffin on a rock, when another one landed and received a mixed review of its landing skills from its friend.

Itsutit
Arctic bell heather (๐๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฆ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข; Inuktitut names: ๐ช๐ต๐ด๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ต; ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฌ๐ด๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ต; ๐ฒ๐ช๐ซ๐ถ๐ฌ๐ต๐ข๐ข๐ต) is a heath plant that may form extensive ground cover on mesic (i. e., containing a moderate amount of moisture) tundra. It covers a significant area in the Expedition Fiord region of Axel Heiberg Island (๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ข๐ข๐ต) in the Canadian High Arcticโso much so that botanist Roland Ernst Beschel, who worked there extensively in the 1960s, broadly classified the whole region as a โ๐๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ tundraโ major vegetation zone.
The Gaze
Great grey owl
First snow
I encountered this coyote very early in the morning during the first snowfall of the season in Forillon National Park. Its winter coat was already in place, ready for the harsh months ahead.
Holding On
Dragonfly hanging on tight during a gusty summer day.
Hungry Groundhog
This little hungry baby Groundhog was having lots of snacks out on the lawn.
Perfect Perch
Great grey owl.
Peekaboo
A large bull moose observed on one of the peaks of the Gaspรฉ Mountains. By early November, snow has already settled in. Winters are long and harsh for the animals living in the Chic-Chocs.

Sleepy Fox Kit
This fox kit had no care in the world sleeping on the edge of a cliff on PEI.
Eyes on the Prize
Great grey owl hunting
Sunrise Bugle
Sunrise in the Canadian Rockies during the elk rut. What an experience to witness this large bull bugling.
Insatiable
Once the two insatiable Tree Swallow hatchlings were big enough in this nest box. They would both compete in trying to stick their heads out. Both trying to be the first to get at whatever the parents were bringing them. Competition comes early in the Tree Swallow world.

These two birds were preening each other and bonding on a rock on a small island off Grand Manan.
Puffin coming back with a full beak
I had always dreamed of seeing puffins, and during a trip to Eastern Canada I finally realized that dream. They are also called โclown of the seaโ for a very good reason, they are quite hilarious in the air, flapping their small wings quite rapidly and sometimes giving the impression that they do not really know where to land! I was amazed at how they can perfectly line up fish in their beak.
