Rocky Willet

This shot was a difficult adventure to get near this Willet. At first along St Catharines Beach in Nova Scotia in the early morning I saw this willet flying from rock to rock. I managed to find a good path without disturbing it. But when I did finally get this shot I turned back and the tides were higher and got trapped on the rock. Only one way out, so I jumped into the freezing cold water. Fortunately for me it was shallow and the Willet continued to fly around.

Master Builder

Beavers are in fact master builders of the forest working endlessly making dams and dens. Each stick or branch they chop down has a place and purpose. I thought having a beautiful high key image of the beaver swimming to its next section of its construction plan pushing through the water was the best way to showcase the beavers relentlessness and determination.

Surf Scoter for Ocean Week Canada

I wanted to include this Surf Scoter in Beausoleil, N.B. during Ocean Week Canada this week, June 1-8, 2026. Like it name suggests, the Surf Scoter is an example of wildlife that lives and needs the ocean. Along the coast here in Atlantic Canada, we see so many species that live in this coastal marine habitat and they change seasonally. We need to protect them and the ocean they live in!

Tiger of the prairies

Rising from below. The Western Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma mavortium) is Saskatchewan's only native salamander. It survives -40 temperatures by burrowing into soft soils and using existing burrows of Richardson’s ground squirrels to escape the harsh frosts. Breeding shortly after ice melts on small ponds and wetlands, their young stay in the pools for several months before transitioning to dry land.

Patience

Close to willow shrubs and overlooking a creek, an Alder Flycatcher waits patiently to fly out and capture insects.

Peek-a-boo Human

A fox kit emerged from the den and peeked at me from behind the grass for a closer look

The boys are back in town!

This young plains spadefoot toad (Spea Bombifrons) won’t be partaking in the wild breeding season this year. They become sexually mature at 2-5 years, but they still need to eat! After a long 11 months you’d be hungry too!

Back in black

A rare dark, almost melanistic colour morph of Spea Bombifrons emerges to feed following warm summer rains on the Saskatchewan prairies. This juvenile won’t be partaking in the wild breeding events that take place after the rain, but they still emerge to feed before burrowing back deep underground for 11 more months.
