Fresh Tracks

There were so many tracks all around the river and on the ice. As I was sitting in my vehicle, I looked at the rocks beside where I was parked and saw some fresh tracks in the snow. I believe them to be from a muskrat.

Frozen

While I was watching the owl flying in the distance, I looked at the river and saw some neat formations in the part that was frozen. The sun was already set, and the sky was changing colour, reflecting off the river.

After the Spawning season

A walk along the Fraser River in BC on Dec 31 provided insight into the salmon after the spawning season. Many fish appeared to have been moved with the river to their resting place along the shoreline. Some wrapped around rocks as the river swept them down and others resting on the rocks or sunk in the mud. I had fished this river during the sockeye run. Now it is quiet. Cycle of life: a transition and not an end.

The Arctic Air

A fresh snowfall turned Toronto into a wintery Arctic scene, with cold air carrying the season from the waterfront through every street. As the city settled into winter, a new year waited just around the corner.

Wintering

Dunlins are a common wintering shorebird in the Victoria, BC, area from approximately October through March. While overwintering in Victoria myself, I've grown fond of a little flock of them I regularly see at one of my favorite birding locations. It had been raining for weeks on the island, but the sun finally came out, and this little one was hanging out, taking a puase to soak up some sunshine.

Safety in the Trees

On my morning walk I often find this heron roosting in the same tree top. Great Blue Herons commonly use trees for both nesting in colonies and as a safe place to roost and take refuge from ground predators.

Along the Ocean Floor

Hopewell rocks New Brunswick is a famous location for its tidal changes. The Tides are extreme because the Moon’s gravity pulls on the massive volume of water in the Bay of Fundy, and the shape of the bay amplifies that pull. As the Moon draws water toward it, the narrow, funnel‑shaped bay forces that water higher and higher, creating some of the largest tidal ranges on Earth.
