The Brave One

It was a real-life game of whack-a-mole, heads bobbing up and down from inside a hole in the ground, before one of the groundhog kits decided enough was enough. There's always one brave one in the bunch -- the one that will try everything first and leads the way. So while this one kit was already out and munching away on nearby vegetation, its two siblings were still taking their time ensuring the coast was clear.

Is The Coast Clear?

These two groundhog kits weren't going to completely exit their underground home until they surveyed the area and determined the coast was clear. Half of their bodies stayed outside of their hole for a couple of minutes before they found their dad nearby eating grass. Once they saw their dad, they felt safe and determined they were clear to leave their underground home one late summer morning. But it wouldn't be long -- maybe seconds -- before they returned back to their hole and performed their hole operation again.

Three's Company

First there was one, then two then three! Three little groundhog heads all poked out of this hole in the ground under a tree one late summer morning. Dad was nearby munching on some grass while mom poked her head out of an adjoining hole every once in a while to check in on her little ones. Baby groundhogs are called pups or kits and depending on where you live they can also be referred to as chucklings. The kits poked their heads up and down a few times before they finally decided the coast was safe enough to completely exit their underground home. Then they ate and played for who knows how long because it was the photographer who left first.

There be land

The core

Picked up some new astro gear and headed out to Lower Kananaskis Lake to get it all dialed in. It was a lovely night with perfect conditions to shoot the stars and I didn't leave until sunrise. One of my faves for 2 nights ago is this shot of the Milky Way core.

Tennessee warbler

Next to the Massawipi river not to far from North Hatley in the Estrie region there is a large field with lots of old apple trees. That rare warbler (for me) nest there during the blooming season. Having never seen them there in the summer I believe they move to another region after the nesting. They are moving fast, never stay long in one place and trying to get a good shot in the foliage of the apple trees is quite difficult but it's an exciting moment every spring.
