Yes, I’m still alive and I’m back for a bit to share some photos and catch up with all of you because it has been a while! I thought I’d start with spring because it always feels like a good time for a fresh start. These snow buntings were happy to see some water appear as temperatures started to …
Well it’s the annual migration South to get some winter birding in and add to that life list! This year I explored the Baja Peninsula around Loreto which was a wonderful base for birding adventures. I stayed at a golf-resort that supported a surprising number of bird species. There was a variety of habitats for all sorts of birds from …
Well here we are in 2023. The past two years have been challenging to say the least. Illness, lockdowns, and all sort of mental health challenges have lingering effects on us all. Getting back to ‘normal’ maybe isn’t as easy as we thought it might be. I wanted to start the year off by looking back at all the wonderful …
Welcome! I’ve had a lot of luck finding ptarmigan this year which means that their numbers are likely on the upswing of their population cycle. Last year I had a hard time finding any so I’m happy to see the little snow chickens return. No one has ever claimed that ptarmigan are the smartest birds in the avian world however …
Welcome to December!! This week I want to share some images of Bohemian waxwings that I caught around the corner from my house a few weeks ago. I saw a bunch of dark blobs in a tree a few blocks over when I looked out my window and wondered if they were waxwings. I passed right by the spot where …
I’ve been trying to get more focused on creating a project with my wildlife photography. I’m really happy that I think I have finally found a focus and something to keep in the back of my mind while I am out shooting. It’s nice to get out and take photos of wildlife but as an artist I am always trying …
Welcome back to the Sunday Edition for the last post of October. This week I have some images of the smallest sandpiper in the world, the least sandpiper. Because it is the smallest it is one of the easier shorebirds to identify! They have yellow legs and a black bill with a brown back that has rusty tint in the …
Welcome! This week I have some images of red-winged blackbirds for you. Now you might be thinking, “ugh, how boring” those birds are everywhere! It’s true, they are prevalent in almost every corner of North America, but it you stick with me for a moment you might find some facts about these birds fascinating. Red-winged blackbirds are one of the …
If you have been following this page for a while then you know I am quite fond of terns. They are incredible birds designed to fly and spend the majority of their lives in the air. And its a good thing too as Common terns have one of the longest migrations of any bird nearly circumnavigating the globe every year! …
I took a trip to Fort Providence at the end of June to go birding and do some fishing with my son. Fort Providence is approximately four hours from Yellowknife by car and is a Yellowknifer’s closest access to the Mackenzie River. During the spring and fall migration, Big River hosts thousands of birds from gulls, and ducks, to swans, …
