Hello! Hello! Welcome to the Sunday Edition. I have a few images from last weekend where I had the privilege to spend a few moments with a pair of Canada Jays. You may remember them as Grey Jays. There is a group of scientists and taxonomists who just can’t agree on what names to call birds and every year …
Happy Easter! What luck that I happened across this little hare on Good Friday. I only managed a few images before this little one disappeared into the bush. I followed the trail after this bunny vanished but there were no eggs to be found!
Hello and welcome back. This week I have some great images of a porcupine with whom I spent some time last weekend. I was checking on a nest box and as I was returning to my truck I saw a large fuzzy rock wiggling on a nearby hillside. I grabbed the binoculars thinking that maybe this was the same porcupine …
Hello and welcome back! I hope that the new format isn’t too big of a change. It was getting very difficult to create new posts in a space the size of a postage stamp. After much frustration I decided to write my content on my website where I have lost of room to read over my post and review the …
It’s February and the foxes have been getting back to business. Last month I had a few glimpses of foxes but this month they seem to be everywhere. I hope this means there will be plenty of kits come spring! I love to photograph foxes in the winter. The light, when it’s sunny, is beautiful and the contrast of …
Thanks for stopping by to read about the wildlife in and around Yellowknife. This week I have some ptarmigan photos to share with you. The cold weather has made it difficult to get out and find wildlife but these birds have been hanging about for a while. It is good to see them again as they were pretty scarce last …

I’ve had a significant break over the holiday and it seems to have helped me rediscover my motivation. It’s been a tough two years and I hope that you are all well. …
I had a chance to dig through some birding photos from 2012 and stumbled across some images I completely forgot about. Here are a few of images from my yellow-headed blackbird stash. If you have never heard these birds they aren’t hard to recognize. They nest in marshes which are also home to red-winged blackbirds. While most of …
I had a fun little encounter with this cross fox yesterday out in the rain. A good reminder to start packing my mittens and weather protection for my camera! It’s going to be short and sweet this week as COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into life for the past month. I’m hoping to get back to regular posting once …
This week I thought I’d share some images of a hardy local who spends the winter with us. While many of our beloved songbirds enjoy the warm southern climate, we have a a few tough birds that stick around and keep us company even in the dead of winter. One of these is the boreal chickadee. Boreal chickadees are …
