Where’s the water

Pretty sure this Canadian Goose is confused as to where the open water is. We have had a late spring this year

Grabbing a snack

This Canada Goose was eating some water weeds while its mate looks on

Reaching for a drink

This Canada Goose was coming to the pond for a drink of water

A mated pair of Mallards

This pair of Mallard ducks were staying very close to each other

Protection mode

This pair of Mallard ducks were cruising and feeding with the Male keeping a close watch over his female

Hopping into Spring

A Golden-Crown Kinglet hops along a dead tree stump looking for insects. Tiny frame, speedy nature.

Awake

A Barred Owl peers down from atop a branch as the late afternoon sun pokes through the forest treeline.

Blinded By the Sun

Spotted this Barred Owl resting in the forest, all tucked into its feathers as a ray of late afternoon sunlight was beaming down through the trees at it.

"Is it safe to come out?"

This Pileated Woodpecker was a busy bird pecking away at this hole in a dead birch tree. When we first came upon the tree we just heard the knocking but saw no bird. We realized they were inside the tree. Then we saw a small head sticking out of the hole. We spent quite a bit of time watching this one.

Snowshoe Hare

My 5 year old and I went for a drive/walk for about an hour - as that's about all he can handle for my wildlife jaunts - then on the way home, 5 minutes from my house, we found this hare catching some sun. Was happy to catch a photo of it just before Easter weekend. Here's a bit of a close up shot! Photo from Big Lakes County, Alberta

Bald Eagle

Another image of the eagle photographed in Big Lakes County of Alberta. Giving me major side eye in this image! Caught it eating some road kill along the highway.

Bald Eagle

This beauty was on the side of the highway eating some road kill. You can see its beak is still red tinged... And I love the dirty tail feathers! A sign that spring is near. This photo was taken in Big Lakes County of Alberta.

Killdeer nest

Killdeer parent diligently incubating eggs in a gravel nest. These adaptable shorebirds often nest directly on the ground in open areas, relying on excellent camouflage to protect their eggs from predators. The speckled eggs look just like another stone on the ground.
