Ottawa has a new celebrity in town and this one hails from the tundra. I't the long-tailed duck and he was loving the attention on this overcast day at a local park along the Ottawa River. These waterfowl are active, highly social, and remarkably vocal sea ducks. This non-breeding male was all alone along its migratory path and has chosen this spot in Ottawa to settle in for at least a few days among mallards, Canada Geese and Lesser Scaups. It was diving for its lunch close to shore, undisturbed by the onlooking revelling in its beauty. Everyone kept a respectable distance and just allowed the bird to show off what it came to show off.

Peekaboo! A Hidden screech Owl's Curious Glance Photo Caption:

A curious Eastern Screech-Owl plays a little game of peekaboo, peering out from the safety of its cozy tree hollow. Perfectly camouflaged against the rugged bark, this secretive little owl reveals just enough of its face to keep a watchful eye on the world outside. Its striking golden eye catches the warm afternoon light, creating a magical moment in nature. Sometimes, the most unforgettable wildlife encounters happen when nature gives us only a little glimpse of its hidden beauty.

Golden-crowned kinglets are such flighty birds that I'm always surprised/amazed/lucky when I get a photo that's actually in focus!!

Golden hour on the East Coast

Calm tides and warm light over Nova Scotia’s most iconic sentinel.

Where Silence Comes to Rest

Barred Owl — St-Bruno, Quebec, Canada At dawn, a particularly active Barred Owl moved from perch to perch, offering me precious moments of observation. I watched and followed her movements from a respectful distance, secretly hoping she would eventually land on an old tree trunk that had caught my eye. Then, as if nature had decided to grant me that very moment, she settled there, fully in the open. Bathed in the soft morning light and surrounded by the warm colours of autumn, she gave me the composition I had been dreaming of capturing for so long. A moment of stillness and beauty, where patience, respect for the owl’s natural rhythm, and the simple joy of observing wildlife came together in an unforgettable encounter.

Juvenile Bald Eagles

Exploring the Knight Inlet just off the coast of British Columbia. I spotted a group of Juvenile Bald Eagles taking a moment to dry off as they spent the morning along the shore eating dead salmon. Nothing goes to waste around here!
