The Quiet Observer

​This rabbit finally emerged from the underbrush, pausing momentarily by a large rock, looking out across the field. In that precise instant, the early morning sun caught it just right, beautifully backlighting its distinctive ears and illuminating its dark, curious eye.

These three seals are enjoying the sun, with their head / snout above water, basking in the sun in calm waters. They love taking short power naps (bottling) like this with their head above water. I love watching them, giving me a glimpse into their marine habitat. I have loved seals since I am a young child and it brings me joy when I get the chance to see some. I am sad that seal hunting has started recently along the Northumberland strait without any public consultation. I have already observed a change in their behavior when boats approach them this summer (compared to past years / decades), since the seal hunt has started. They also have to look out for Great white sharks, as their strong seasonal presence in Atlantic Canada is increasingly being documented. A Great white "pinged" in this exact location last summer. Amongst the tagged sharks (just the tip of the iceberg compared to their actual numbers!), we have over a dozen currently that have "pinged" in our waters recently!

Yellowlegs Resting

Shorebirds, like Yellowlegs need their rest when they migrate here for summer. In this photo, it is resting peacefully in a salt marsh in Beausoleil, N.B.

Eye Contact With a Seal

This seal was curious to notice me watching him from the shoreline, while he was observing me from the water. This magical interaction with marine mammals is truly amazing! It is like two worlds meeting: land and sea! I have loved seals since I am a young child and it brings me joy when I get the chance to see one. I am sad that seal hunting has started recently along the Northumberland strait without any public consultation. (I practice ethical wildlife photography, always keeping a distance and using a zoom).

130,000 Sandpipers Resting at High Tide Along the Bay of Fundy

An estimated 130,000 Sandpipers are resting at high tide along the Bay of Fundy on this particular day of August, according to the daily count of Sandpipers at the Interpretative Center. It is truly magical each summer to witness the huge flocks of Sandpipers that come to rest and feast before their nonstop 72 hour journey. The Bay of Fundy is their one stop. At high tide, like in this photo, they rest on the beach, looking like rocks. (Here we see a portion of the 130k). At low tide, they feast on mud shrimp to double their weight ahead of their migration. It is truly awe-inspiring!
