Youngster With An Itch

Eagles have a specialized muscle system that allows them to extend one leg to scratch their head while keeping the other leg gripping their perch or the ground. This is a routine hygiene behaviour, not for clearing parasites. Like most animals birds get itchy skin due to feather molting, dry skin, or minor irritations. Their talons are sharp and strong enough to reach their head and neck where they cannot use their beak easily.

Thanks to my brother for remembering the head lamps and standing still while the bugs bit him during this long exposure!

Winter's Breath

One day we were out looking for owls on the most perfect winter day. Although we didn't spot any wildlife on this particular day, the snow on the trees and the gorgeous sunshine had us stopping to photograph the winter beauty.

This photo was taken in Sheep River Provincial Park. On the way there, we passed about 6 bears so we were on the lookout. We thought there would be plenty of people at this beautiful waterfall, but we were the only ones there. We had bear spray, but the roar of the falls drowned out any noise, so we took turns scanning the area and luckily had no bear encounters outside of the car!

Morning Stretch

A Great Blue Heron having a big morning stretch along the shoreline, its full wingspan on display. I watched it from my kayak preen and fish during a morning paddle on the lake.

Photographing the wild horses of Sundre had been on my photography bucket list for a very long time. We finally came across some this spring and were thrilled to watch them frolic and play.

Snoozing Siblings

Young Mergansers snooze together along the shoreline. I slowly drifted along in my kayak watching their morning interactions, snapping a few pictures of the siblings nestled together.

The Smile

A young Merganser smiling, beak open showing off its full set of tiny teeth. Maybe its saw one of its siblings do something funny, or I happen to catch it end yawn. Such a treat to watch this family's morning antics as I drifted by in my kayak watching them all slowly waking up for a day on the water.
