A gorgeous Red-tailed Hawk hunts in the hills of southern Alberta.

Bug in view!

A female Northern Flicker forages on the ground but keeps her eyes peeled on an insect flying within catching distance.

Autumn aurora

Taken in mid autumn, beautiful Aurora wasn’t visible to the naked eye but so grateful she could be caught on camera

Butter can fly

A lovely monarch enjoying yellow yarrow

Very dandy!

A busy bee flying from flower to dandelion

Curiosity

Instead of searching for ants, this woodpecker seemed fascinated by a tiny yellow bloom. The encounter lasted only seconds, but it transformed an ordinary wildlife observation into a memorable moment.

Sticky situation

A fly comes to a sticky end trapped in the jaws of a carnivorous sundew plant. Sundews have little tentacles on their leaves covered with a sticky nectar that attracts and traps insects. When an insect gets stuck, the leaves curl around it and release digestive enzymes, soaking up the insect's nutrients.

Tender Moment

This adult loon was observed diving in the water and surfacing with a small fish. The adult presented the fish to the new chicks. The chicks hesitated not sure what to do. The adult slowly extended the fish to one of the chicks as the other looked on. As this process repeated itself the chicks became more confident and took the fish readily. Such a tender moment to observe.

Curiosity

This beautiful red fox emerged from the forest and stopped briefly to observe me. The brilliant red coat was a shock of colour against the newly fallen white snow. The encounter was quiet and brief but beautiful.

The Power of the Loon

I loved the energy of this loon as the loon rose out of the water displaying the piercing red eye and demonstrating the power and intricacy of the massive wings.

Algonquin Wolf

This beautiful Algonquin wolf was observed walking along the roadside looking for an entry point into the forest. As it had just snowed heavily the days prior, the banks were very high. It was such a thrill to see this amazing animal.

Reflections of a Swan Family

A mute swan family rests on the shore of a pond. Several cygnets are tucked under the adult. One cygnet appears and tumbles down the bank to the waters edge while one of the adults watches from above. The swan family then continues to enjoy the warmth of the early morning sun.
