I caught a series of images of these two caribou “dancing” during a disagreement. These are two male barren-ground caribou , part of a herd that migrates through the NWT. They move from their wintering grounds in the south part of the territory north to the tundra where they give birth and raise their young. Hopefully these two will father generations of caribou to come.

It's been so cold here the Canada Jays have the extra-glamorous frosted eyelashes.

Had a lovely chance to photograph some white-winge

Had a lovely chance to photograph some white-winged crossbills during a walk outside Yellowknife this past weekend. It was about -30ºC and this small flock was feasting on the seeds of spruce cones to stay warm.

A chance encounter with a little red fox kit late in the summer. Foxes are curious by nature, more so within city limits.

We’re all set up at the Explorer for the NWTArts Handmade show and sale. I’m here from 10-6 so please come by and say hello!

I took a trip to Fort Providence a couple of weeks ago and on the way home I spotted this Canadian lynx crossing the highway. The lighting was absolutely gorgeous and I tried to capture a few images but didn't want to speed up and scare it off. Caught this cool shot of them disappearing into the bush though!
Happy Canada Day! Let's protect our wild spaces so we can keep enjoying our wildlife.

Had a bit of a rarity for me, only the second time

Had a bit of a rarity for me, only the second time I've seen a Bay-breasted warbler. The last time I caught a glimpse of one of these birds was in Fort Smith. This ne was just outside Yellowknife. It took a while to locate this one but when I did I snapped a few pics from my kayak. Hoping I'll catch another glimpse of this species before the end of the summer.

The LeConte's sparrow is one of my favourite little birds that spend summers around Yellowknife. Their call is similar to a Savanah Sparrow but these birds are often found near water, and often near to the ground in thick willow ground cover. They flap their wings like baby birds wanting to be fed and their blushing orange faces and black streaking make them one of the more colourful of the sparrow species.

On the way home from a loooong day of birding, I spotted a chunky little bird perched on top of a roadside sign and thought...what are you? I quickly made a u-turn hoping that I'd at least catch a glimpse of the bird before it flew away and I had a chance to fire off about 30 images before it got tired of me and flew off into the dense brush.

I was excited to see this little owl and thought to myself it looks an awful lot like a burrowing owl but it would be so far out of its normal range maybe it's a juvenile of a more likely species. When I got home, I checked my bird book and it turns out it is a burrowing owl!

Burrowing owls normally live in prairie or desert habitat where they occupy former homes of prairie dogs, ground squirrels, or tortoises. Burrowing owls migrate to southern climates in the Southern US and Mexico for the winter starting in August which makes the appearance of this owl in the NWT even more surprising: Cornell's range map for burrowing owls shows central Alberta as the most northerly breeding area as typical for this species.

The Burrowing Owl as a species has been in steep decline due to the destruction of its natural habitat by development and the use of pesticides and rodenticides poisoning its food supply. It is listed as an endangered species in Canada so it makes this find even more special.

A vociferous palm warbler came over to say hello to me a couple of weeks ago. These warblers can be quite curious and will often hang around long enough for you to capture a few images.
