Sorting Seaweed

A Loon's Legacy

During their first weeks of life, loon chicks frequently ride on a parent's back, sheltered beneath the adult's wings and feathers. This behaviour helps conserve energy, regulate body temperature, and reduce exposure to predators while the family travels across the lake.

Between Water and Sky

A Great Blue Heron launches from the shoreline, its broad wings fully extended as it rises above the water. Captured at the precise moment between earth and sky, the image reveals the elegance, power, and remarkable engineering of one of Canada's most iconic wetland birds. The soft morning light illuminates the intricate feather detail while the heron's focused gaze remains fixed on its destination.

A Mother's Watchful Eye

A Trumpeter Swan keeps a close watch over her young cygnets as they explore the quiet marsh. Surrounded by lily pads and bathed in soft morning light, the family moves together through calm waters, a scene that reflects both the tenderness and vigilance of parenthood in the wild. Captured from water level, this intimate perspective offers a glimpse into the daily life of one of Canada's most iconic wetland species.

Chilling in the Forest

This little guy was wandering in the forest up by camp so I grabbed by camera to take some pictures as he chilled.

Feak is Chic

 It's spring, and the rufous hummingbirds have returned to BC. for breeding season. Many are in our own backyards and gardens. Often in wildlife photography, we want pure nature, but this wildlife capture tells a story of coexistence. A moody morning silhouette against the pop of blue from distant Arrow Lake of a rufous hummingbird strips away all the distraction of detail to focus on the behavior. This tiny pollinator takes time to pause and sharpen its bill on my garden fence after a busy morning in my blooming patch of berries. Hummingbirds' bills are made of keratin, like human fingernails, and take part in a behavior known as “feaking,” sharpening their bill on tree branches or, in this case, my fence. Coexisting with hummingbirds offers mutual benefits: humans can provide critical food sources like nectar gardens, which allow these birds to thrive and evolve. In return, hummingbirds provide essential pollination for native plants and gardens, plus there's the bonus of mental health benefits to the people watching them.

The bald-faced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata)

The bald-faced hornet is distinguished from other yellowjackets by its striking black-and-white coloring. It has a white or "bald-faced" head, which is the source of its colloquial name. , For a photo taken with a bridge camera, it's not that bad!! exposure data:, 1/250 sec f/4.7 on a Lumix bridge camera focal 94mm
