Fluffed Up Turkey

Turkey getting a chance to flap its wings.

Sharp-shinned Hawk

I have recently rejuvenated a bird feeder site. Located on a farm woodlot, not far from my home here, in Cambridge Ontario. Junco's, Chickadees, Sparrows, and Cardinals have begun to return. It would seem it has also attracted the attention of this Sharp-shinned Hawk.

Morning Fog

Deer on a foggy morning

Prairie Scene

A deer walking across a fog filled field as the sun is rising and the morning dew lifts.

Red-tailed Hawk

Usually a rather elusive visitor, but had just fed and seemed content to rest in the tree.

Spirit of the Grasslands

A Northern Harrier glides low over the grasslands of Boundary Bay (Tsawwassen, BC), wings held in a shallow V as it scans the ground for prey.

Feeding the Future

Two young swallows wait expectantly as an adult returns with food. Captured at the moment of arrival, the image highlights the intensity and precision of parental care during the breeding season.

Barred owl with a snack

I watched in awe as this beautiful barred owl successfully hunted not one but two mice right in front of me. Then she gracefully invited me to watch as she hungrily devoured her meal. WoW !

Yamnuska, Canmore

Awesome hike up the mountain to the base. Yamnuska, "flat faced mountain" is a great one.

Backyard Visitor

A Cooper's Hawk visits our backyard to scope out our bird feeder action on a greyish weekend afternoon. Landing on one of the nearby trees, I was able to quietly open the patio door and snap a quick picture between the branches. It has become a repeat visitor.

Hidden Within the Cedars

Walking along a local trail, I spotted a couple of Long Eared Owls roosting in some cedars against a fence. From the distance of the path I took a picture of the one LEO peering through some of the heavier cedar brush.

Towhee in the Bushes

We've had an Eastern Towhee visiting and sticking around the local Arboretum feeder this winter. Spotted it within some bushes during an afternoon walk.

SawWhet Owl

Spotted this little owl while shoveling off my deck . Just a few feet above it was a Great Horned Owl.. Both trying to take a nap Jan 6th 2026
