Side by Side

Two Pied-billed Grebes drift quietly across the marsh as the day begins. Though facing in opposite directions, they remain close, each keeping watch over their surroundings. These small, secretive waterbirds are masters of disappearing beneath the surface, often slipping underwater without a splash. Capturing them at eye level reveals a peaceful moment that is so easily missed from shore.

Breakfast Has Arrived

A young American Kestrel hovers at the entrance to the nest box, eagerly greeting a returning parent with breakfast. Only moments from entering the cavity, the adult clings to the utility pole while the fledgling reaches out in anticipation. Capturing this fleeting interaction required patience and perfect timing, revealing the remarkable dedication these tiny falcons show as they raise their young.

Breakfast in the Lily Pads

Hidden among a sea of lily pads, two Black Tern chicks eagerly greet a returning parent with breakfast. Hovering effortlessly above the nest, the adult delivers a freshly caught insect with remarkable precision before disappearing once again in search of the next meal. Moments like this last only seconds, but they reveal the incredible dedication these small wetland birds show in raising their young.

Morning Shelter

As the first rays of morning light touched the marsh, one Trumpeter Swan parent stretched its wings over the family while the other tended to the cygnets below. For just a brief moment, the nest became a sanctuary beneath a canopy of feathers. A quiet reminder that in the wild, love is often shown through protection rather than words.

Why Edmonton Fences Fail Early — Frost Heave Explained

Frost heave is the number one reason fences fail prematurely in Edmonton. Edmonton's clay soil expands when it freezes and pushes fence posts out of the ground over multiple winters. Proper post depth below the frost line is the only real fix. Atlantic Fence sets every post correctly for Edmonton's conditions.

Juvenile Heron

Sandy brown breast feathers indicate that the bird is a juvenile or immature Great Blue Heron. Young herons are described as being mostly grey-brown all over, lacking the distinct slate-blue colouring and shaggy chest feathers of adults. They do not reach full physical maturity and attain adult plumage until they are 3 years old. Once they reach adulthood, their breasts typically feature patches of light to grayish feathers on a generally slate-blue body, rather than a uniform sandy brown.

Tornado Buck

Wild weather when the Rocky Mountains and foothills have a tornado. When I was taking this picture I was only 3km unknowingly away from it. The buck and another one were acting crazy now I know why. 4-5km of destruction of Forrest and a well site

Smoky Effect

July 18, 2026, and there was still forest fire smoke coming to our area. I can only assume that the smoke affected the photo as I did no post work on it except cropping. To me, the photo looks more like a painting.
