Young Sentinel

A juvenile bald eagle sits high in a spruce tree, scanning the forest below. Its mottled plumage and watchful posture reveal a young raptor already learning the role it will one day fill

Watching Below

A bald eagle leans forward from the top of a spruce tree, its gaze fixed on something below, revealing the intense focus of an apex predator

Hidden Emeralds

A close-up portrait capturing a mature adult Common Loon (Gavia immer) swimming along a calm freshwater waterway in Quispamsis, New Brunswick. Photographed using a single-frame exposure with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 lens, the tight horizontal composition utilizes direct low-angle sunlight to resolve the species' diagnostic structural emerald-green head iridescence, a luminous ruby-red iris, and intricate checkered mantle patterns, fully preserving native plumage textures and organic sensor grain paths without software smoothing.

A bald eagle perches near the top of a spruce tree, its open beak caught mid-call against the pale Nova Scotia sky

looking toward Tuxford

The small community of Tuxford, Saskatchewan, still has two grain elevators, which is a rarity. The one on the left is till active. The one on the right - a former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator - may also still be receiving and shipping grain. It's difficult to tell.

Great Grey Owl in Snowglobe

This Great Grey Owl landed on a branch that was pretty much eye level to me. It sat there as the snow started to fall. I wanted to capture it in the light falling snow, the same look and feel you get when you shake a snow globe.

Catch of the Day

Great lighting, right wind direction and an Osprey hunting in the morning. What more could you ask for. A wonderful way to spend the day watching and photographing. I captured this beautiful shot as the Osprey flew towards me with its catch of the day.

A Mothers Patience

This mother fox was kept busy with 8 kits. At times they were jumping all over her while she stood watch over their antics. I believe there are 6 kits in this picture

Someone To Watch Over Us

A behavioral study capturing a female adult Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus) swimming in tight, protective formation with her six ducklings along the Petitcodiac River in Saint John, New Brunswick. Photographed using a single-frame exposure with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 lens, the horizontal composition documents intricate down plumage textures, a fully fanned nuchal crest, and maternal brood-guarding behaviors, preserving native sensor grain and organic water contrast for premium print fidelity without software smoothing.

A Mothers Journey

The Red Fox was keeping her eye on 8 kits that were out playing around. These 3 kits were keeping close to her and one was trying to nurse but she wasn't interested.

Territorial Dispute

During the fall migration hummingbirds stopped to feed in this area. Inevitably disputes occur for the best flowers.

Taking a Nap

While in Waterton I saw this black bear cub up a tree positioning himself to curl up on some branches in order to nap. In this photo he had completed his maneuvering and settled in for a nap. I was surprised that the branches could hold the weight of the bear. Black bears in Waterton range in color from blond to brown, cinnamon and black.

Hidden in the Grass

A curious coyote pup sits among the summer grass while its sibling stays almost completely concealed nearby, barely visible through the vegetation.

Up a Tree

While in Waterton I saw this black bear cub up a tree positioning himself to curl up around the tree truck in order to nap. In this photo he was part way through positioning himself. Black bears in Waterton range in color from blond to brown, cinnamon and black.

The Watcher

A coyote stands on the edge of a hillside as thick fog fills the valley below, briefly revealing itself before the landscape disappears again

Eyes in the Rain

A rain-soaked red fox looks straight into the lens, every strand of wet fur standing out against a pale, misty sky. The close perspective turns a brief encounter into an intimate portrait

Through the Rain

A red fox crosses a rocky riverbank in steady rain, its soaked coat catching the last light of the evening while mist hides the landscape beyond

Into the Night

A red fox moves through the rain in the fading evening light, its silhouette briefly visible against the misty landscape before disappearing into the darkness

Unfolding

A carpet of unfurling fern fronds emerges across the forest floor in Newfoundland. For only a short time each spring, the tightly coiled fiddleheads slowly open into full-grown ferns, transforming the landscape almost overnight

Home on the Edge

A pair of northern gannets tends their nest atop the basalt sea stacks of St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland. With thousands of neighbors packed onto the cliffs around them, every nest is built on just enough rock to raise the next generation
