Waterfowl Splash

A greater yellowlegs bird goes for one last fishing trip during golden hour at a beach in Port-aux-Basque, Newfoundland. The angle of the sun, reflection off the water and timing made for a perfect opportunity for a silhouette shot of a failed fishing attempt. This bird may not have caught anything during this particular try, but it sure made a splash!

Smoke on the Water

Waking up before the sun has its payoffs, especially when you know it's going to be a foggy morning. Shortly before the sun made its appearance, a heavy fog sat atop the marsh at Mer Bleue Bog in Ottawa's east end. The water was incredibly still and acted as a perfect mirror. The photo is not a double exposure, the fog is giving an optical illusion where the long grass is focused in the foreground and in the background obscured by fog and depth of field are a forest of trees. Only the light sounds of marsh birds could be heard, otherwise any little movement in the water was amplified to the nearly dead silence of being the only human soul around.

Flying Low

Foraging Western Tanager

So interesting to watch the Tanagers forage! They are presently enjoying a diet of wasps, beetles and dragonflies....but the Bald-faced Hornet made me cringe!

Road Crew

This summer traffic jam of antlers and rear ends comes to you from the Caribou Trail (Route 480) to Burgeo, Newfoundland and Labrador

Female Northern Harrier checking me out!

There's nothing like standing in the middle of a field and getting checked out by the wild life and birds near by! This beauty flew right over me and gave me a fabulous look at her beautiful outstretched wings, underbelly and gorgeous face!

frustration yet again

just wondering why every day is a challenge to load. Have you thought of creating an app that might better suit this forum? I continue to be frustrated with uploading pictures, seemingly, successfully and it not happening. Then when I try again at a later date I see duplicates......and others just never show up no matter how often I try. Lack of response back is rather frustrating as well. --- Timestamp: 2026-08-01T17:46:57.454Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/151.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Fish Hawk (Osprey)

Intense focus

Hiding Out

This juvenile mallard had taken a few minutes to swim away from mom and wound up going under the boardwalk. I think the noise of people walking above may have scared the little duck and he found himself in an area that was sheltered and very shaded.

Apex Predator

It is sometimes hard to imagine that these 'friendly' looking critters are apexpredators!

Break Time

The nose never rests

By the thousands

The Bay of Fundy is a very important stop for shorebirds on their way south. They feed at low tide (they can't float or swim), rest at high tide. They stay for about three weeks and more than double their body weight. Then they fly non-stop to South America, using all the energy they acquired while in the Bay of Fundy. Only about 50,000 birds while I was there (peak is about 100,000) but we didn't get good looks, as a pair of peregrine falcons were hunting for lunch. Also, when they arrive, they weigh as much as a strawberry!!

Macro Pink Salmon Eye

With the return of the Pink Salmon here on Vancouver Island I was eager to do some stacked macro photography of the eye with a 1:1 magnification. With an unclose view of the eye it shows the intricate patterns and colours.

Eagle Herring 6

During a recent marine wildlife tour I offer around Blackfish Sound we found a large herring bait ball with about 30-40 Bald Eagles fishing for the Herring
