Migration Conference

I was driving around the Foothills Country side with my husband when we came upon this very large group of Trumpeter Swans, American Pintails, Mallards and probably more. I played with a slower shutter speed to create this image.

a random popsicle?

This artwork was posted on the side of a shed located in an agricultural museum near Swift Current, Saskatchewan. There was no title or explanation as to why it was there. It was just there.

So Sleepy

I saw this squirrel resting with a pinecone in its mouth, how cute is that?? It was a warmer day today, the sun was so nice, this little one was taking it all in, enjoying the warm spring day.

And that's when the trouble started...

Crow thinking about harassing a snowy owl in Ottawa. in the end it chose the wiser path and left the owl alone.

Last of the season?

One of two snowy owls in a field together April 5, 2026. May very well be the last of the season here.

Meet the Beavers

A beaver swims up to two others in its colony who were just resting peacefully at the bottom of a tree in a marsh in Ottawa's Petrie Island in the springtime. It's a quiet and secluded area of the Petrie that mostly only locals know about. There was a colony of 5 in total, which included one yearling. The swimming beaver seemed to be on patrol, often coming by to check me out, keeping a very alert eye on me. After a few back-and-forths, the beaver determined I wasn't a threat and would head back to its colony.

Dancing finches

Dozens of pine siskins visit our bird feeder daily in the winter. The pair were fighting for a spot at the feeder but I thought it looked more like a dance in the photo

purple finch in snow

We very rarely get purple finches in our yard so I jumped at the chance to photograph one when we saw it
