Green False Hellebore (Indian Poke)

The Bunkbed

On my first visit to the shorebird reserve, I was completely oblivious to the fact that thousands of Semipalmated Sandpipers were snoozing on the beach right in front of my nose. That's how well they can blend in with their sandy surroundings. They are true masters of camouflage. This image is much easier to see their slumber tactic, as two have found high sanctuary atop a beach boulder. Always preferable to have on or two birds not like the others if possible in such compositions. @ Johnson's Mills Shorebird Reserve in NB.

Twilight Feast

As daylight fades, a porcupine perches high among the branches, quietly feeding on fresh leaves. The soft light of dusk highlights a rarely observed moment, showcasing the adaptability and calm presence of this nocturnal creature.

Burrowing Owl

We had a break with this sighting: the staff in the interpretive centre in the East Block of Grasslands National Park told us there was a Burrowing Owl who was standing guard over their its nest just outside the gate to the Park. Sure enough, along with a Marbled Godwit and a few other birds, there it was.

One Last Look

A moment of connection between the Deer and Me. Captured in an instant before disappearing into the landscape.

The Shorebird Shuffle

An abstract high-density sequential study capturing thousands of migratory Semipalmated Sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) on a high-tide roost at the Johnson's Mills Shorebird Reserve, New Brunswick. The horizontal composition documents dynamic spatial competition behaviors, freezing the exact millisecond two separate individuals are squeezed out of position from the core flock and launch into low-altitude transit to relocate along the outer edge of the roosting matrix. Photographed using a single-frame exposure with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 lens, the frame preserves native cryptic plumage textures and organic sensor grain boundaries for premium print layout fidelity without software smoothing.

Fishing For Breakfast

Don't need a boat to go fishing if you're a Heron.

Killdeer could live anywhere in nature. And yet.
