The Forest Sees
An Eastern Screech Owl rests in a tree cavity on a cold winter day in Quebec, Canada. It's always exciting to encounter rufous-morph Screech owls with their warm, reddish-brown tones, as they are estimated to account for only one-third of all screech owls, and are more likely to occur in the Eastern parts of their range.

Courtship in Motion
In winter, Harlequin ducks seek out rough, rocky coastal habitats that are exposed to the surf. During these winter months and into spring, these monogamous ducks form female-male pairs. While on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, I had the chance to observe courting behaviours, which consists of several males surrounding a female and performing displays which include stretching their necks, raising their tails and head-bobbing.

Glowing Leatherleaf
Walking around Cobbs Pond during golden hour. I found lots of the Leatherleaf Fern glowing in the golden sunlight. Taken May 2025 in Gander, NL.
The Watcher
Although American Crow sightings are a daily occurence, rarer are the opportunities to photograph them at close range. This crow landed next to me along the shoreline to inspect a crab, allowing me to capture its portrait. It was interesting to watch their interactions with other birds along the water, like gulls, with which they sometimes compete over food resources.
Tidewalker
Living in Quebec, it's always so interesting to encounter new species when visiting the Pacific coast. Some species locals view as common can be so interesting to observe for a first time, like the Black Oystercatcher. I photographed this one on a beach in Sooke, British Columbia. The bird's bright orange bill and piercing yellow eyes were so impressive!
May Surprise
Unusually, we don't expect snow during the month of May but it did in fact, snow on May 17th 2026 in Waterton National Park. This cinnamon-colored yearling black bear appeared to be enjoying the unexpected snowfall.
Still Moments
High above the Central Kootenay valleys, the morning mist gives way to brilliant alpine sunshine. Perched on a warm slab of granite, a Columbian ground squirrel, tucked into a fluffy ball, stares intently into the silence.
