I was fortunate to see a number of beautiful warblers during my trip. Cuba has a number of endemic species which means they have birds that you can only see in Cuba. I love the vivid colours of warblers and their varied songs and behaviours. They are most definitely one of my favourite birds. We don’t get a lot of …
I planned a birding adventure as part of my vacation. There were a couple of birds that I really wanted to see while I was away, one of which you can only find in Cuba. The tour wasn’t until the last day of my vacation so I had a long wait to find out exactly which birds I’d seen by …
Here is a sneak peek of the next series of posts starting this Sunday April 7th all about the birds I saw during my Cuban vacation. I have so much to share with you all. Thank you so very much for your patience while I took some time away with my son.

This post will be in two parts the first focusing on opportunities inside the …
I had some visitors stop by and clean up the seed under the bird feeder, much to the entertainment of the cat.
The days are finally getting longer again which means more daylight hours to hang out with the fox family. Spring fever has already started in spite of the cold temperatures. Foxes are marking their favourite spots in the hopes of leaving an in-scent-ive for a new mate. Some foxes are more interested in the dating game than others. Many are …
Happy Valentines Day to all you lovebirds, bird-lovers, and friends of the wild. With affection from your pal in Yellowknife.
Welcome back to Wildknife Photo. This week’s Sunday edition is all about ravens in winter. I’ve been in Yellowknife for 9 winters and one of the subjects I love photographing most during winter is ravens. When it gets to about -20ºC, ravens start to get a little frosty.
