Long Tailed Goodbye
Well, that's enough fishing for today, at least for this long-tailed duck. This non-breeding male was found all on his own in Ottawa, of all places. Why is that peculiar? Because long-tailed ducks hail from the tundra! It's been a few days, that locals know of, that this waterfowl has been calling west-end Ottawa its temporary home. Birders have been flocking to see this handsome boy and respective his distance. But this duck isn't shy. He likes to coast and fish along the edges of the pond and check out the onlookers, so bashful he is not.

Still Water, Sharp Peaks
A long exposure smoothed the clouds and turned the lake into glass, doubling the peaks. Worth every step of the hike in the Canadian Rockies.
Storm Over the Valley
A summer storm rolling through the mountains, rain curtains glowing pink as a lightning bolt drops into the valley. Patience and a tripod beat luck every time.
Lone Tree in the Fog
Thick morning fog erased everything but one bare tree in the Alberta parkland. Sometimes the best shot is what you leave out.
Sunburst Over the River
The sun slipped behind the ridge just enough to throw a starburst over a glacier-fed river in the Canadian Rockies.
Summer Velvet
A bull elk still in velvet, grazing through summer wildflowers in the Canadian Rockies. Shot from a safe distance with a long lens.
Hummingbird Mid-Hover
A hummingbird frozen mid-hover, its throat lighting up like a flame. A fast shutter and a lot of misses made this one possible.
Bull Moose in the Frost
A bull moose moving through frosted willows on a cold October morning in the Canadian Rockies.
