Voice of the Tundra

An arctic ground squirrel stands alert on the open tundra, mouth wide letting out a sharp call

Love Notes

My daily walk along Arrow Lakes' shoreline, and I caught the most beautiful notes from an unfamiliar songbird. I scanned the shoreline in the direction I heard it coming from, and to my surprise, it was not a songbird at all. Standing under the beautiful backdrop of the Monashee Mountain range stood a greater yellowlegs belting out what I believe to be its mating song. It would stop it's melody and look around, waiting for a reply, none of which came as I think it may have been one of the first to arrive back to the breeding grounds. I'm sure a love interest will be along soon.

Calm in the Cold

The golden landing

Paddleboarding Friend

This handsome fella's image was taken from my paddleboard. My friend and I had gone camping on a nearby island, and on our way back, I couldn't resist getting a couple of snaps of these beautiful creatures.

The Wild Within the Thicket

A caribou stands quietly within the dense bush, its impressive antlers appear like a natural crown

The Watchman

I had been heading to my car when a Red-Tailed Hawk landed on the lamp post next to me. From its vantage point it scanned the nearby fields jus as a light breeze picked up, sweeping up some of its feathers with the wind.

Gathered at the Quiet Water

Backyard Supervisor

An unexpected visitor spotted in the backyard this past winter - a Screech owl, who spent the day perched sunning itself, and snoozing off and on before departing for the evening around 6pm.

A Piper with Pipes

My daily walk along Arrow Lakes' shoreline, and I caught the most beautiful notes from an unfamiliar songbird. I scanned the shoreline in the direction I heard it coming from, and to my surprise, it was not a songbird at all. Standing under the beautiful backdrop of the Monashee Mountain range stood a greater yellowlegs belting out what I believe to be its mating song, as it did not sound the same as an alert call. During courtship, males may give an insistent tuu-whee tuu-whee yodel, which is rarely heard outside of breeding grounds. Unfortunately, no females were around to answer, given the male must have been an early arrival returning for the Spring season.
