Deer & Pine

A day exploring Parc Omega in Montebello, QC Canada.

Reflection

All Stretched out

This black bear is lunging for a salmon

I see a Fish

There was a salmon between a black bear and I. The bear lunged at the salmon but missed.

Coastal Black Bear

I have been watching this area along the river for a number of years for a bear walking on this log. This year, I saw 3 bears on the log

Sunlit Gems

There was a second snowfall in Nova Scotia, but it didn't last through the night. I was able to capture some snowy landscapes thanks to the cold freeze.

Got an Itch

When I spotted this bear it was lying down on the log. He got up after a few minutes and started scratching himself.

Fissure

Nature walk through a snowy forestscape.

Runnin' Bear

This bear spotted a salmon in my direction and ran toward it but the fish escaped.

Success

A black bear caught a pink salmon right in front of me

Balancing Act

This large adult male black bear was fishing on the river and climbed up on the small rock to give a better view to see salmon

Missed

Many black bears on Vancouver Island spend considerable time fishing on rivers when the salmon are migrating. Bears are not always successful catching a salmon as shown in the photo

Migration

Each year salmon return to the rivers where they started their lives to spawn. The pink salmon in the photo occasionally build up in numbers in one location to a point where they surface frequently

Nap time

This bear caught a coho salmon and took it into the forest to eat it. the bear remerged about 10 minutes later and came to the edge of the river and laid down right in front of me

Bullfrog

A favourite park here in St Thomas I like to go to with my camera. And almost all the time you will see a Bullfrog or two among other wildlife.

Goldeneye Courtship Display

This male Common Goldeneye duck is performing a courtship display with impressive acrobatic moves in Beausoleil, New Brunswick. In this photo, he just swung his head backwards all the way reaching his back, creating an interesting shape. His acrobatic move resulted in movement in the water as well, with the circle formed in the water behind him, amongst the ripples in the rest of the water. Simplicity in black and white, playing with shape, movement and textures.

Tiny Feet - BIG Attitude

It's spring, and the tiny feet of this male rufous hummingbird cling to a thorny branch, resting between its exertions to collect nectar. I grew fond of this little one as I often observed it in a particular area I was staying in Victoria, BC, always sitting on the same favorite perches. It was fun to just watch it and it's tiny behaviors, and oh my goodness, the hummingbird drama from time to time, chasing other males off, hissing and spatting with them, the red and gold flashes of their gorgets as they played aerial combat. Then there are the courtship displays of flying high up in the air and diving downward while making loud buzzing and trilling noises. It's a tiny bird with a BIG attitude, and you definitely know when they are in the area during spring! No wonder he needed a rest!

Seeing Double

As I was taking this photo of an Eider sea-duck on the ice on a very cold winter day in Caissie Cape, New Brunswick, I noticed a second one behind it! They are perfectly aligned, both heads turned in the same direction (even as they both turned their heads later). These large sea-ducks come here along the Northumberland coast for the winter.

Rays of Sunshine

During my outings photographing the fog and surrounding landscapes I came across this forest with the light slicing through thee fog as it cut through the gaps in the forest

Winter Owls

Short-eared Owls and Great Greys Owls always make up for the long winter days, Spending time with them is always memorable.
