Northern Cardinal

A brief encounter with one of Canada’s most striking songbirds, captured in natural light and undisturbed behaviour. A beauty found in everyday wildlife moments.

Foraging Flicker

Nestled amongst the grass, a Vancouver Island female northern flicker forages, using its bill to probe in the dirt for bugs.

Portrait of Light

A great blue heron, with soft morning golden hour light hitting just right, was inviting for a zoomed in, detailed close-up of the beautiful details of this magnificent bird.

"Oh, it's so windy!"

We had quite the windstorm the last couple of days. This Great Horned Owl was keeping her ground through the big gusts of a wind that took down branches.

Liquid Joy

This great blue heron perched in a treetop, rain coming down all around, beak wide open, tongue jutting out in a wide yawn, made me think of a child, mouth open, catching raindrops.

Don't mind us, take your pictures

Shaking out those feathers

A Mallard duck enjoys a bath and a good feather clean down by the Boathouse river. It has just surfaced from being fully submerged and was shaking out its feathers, water droplets spurting in every direction.

Tree Top Slumber

I was out for a morning walk and the sun was just coming up. I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time when this Great Blue Heron landed in a treetop right next to the hilltop I was standing on. I found myself at eye level with this prehistoric-looking bird. I sat down at a nearby picnic table to minimize my presence as a threat, allowing for more natural observation without inducing stress to the bird, which seemed oblivious to my presence. It proceeded to preen, stretch, shake itself out and then take a nap. I took numerous beautiful captures and close-ups of its magnificent details and plumage. It was an amazing experience to enjoy this rare, quiet moment as a seemingly invisible observer of it behaving so naturally and unwary.

À la pêche aux moules

"À la pêche aux moules" is a popular French children's song about a child gathering mussels who loses their basket to city people. Here illustrated by a mother Grizzly and its cubs eating mussels off the shore line.
