Welcome back! This weeks Sunday edition is the second part of my favourite shots from 2018. I was fortunate to encounter a number of new species both furred and feathered during my photography outings last year. I spent a lot of time with foxes at least until they started denning in preparation for the birth of the next generation. It …
Welcome my friends. Thank you for your patience with me while I get organized for 2019. I’ve had a bit of a rocky start so I thought we would ease into the year by reviewing some of my favourite photos of 2018, in two parts. January and February of 2018 were incredible for wildlife photography. The fox family that I’ve …
Welcome back to the Sunday edition! I finally had a chance to get out and do some wildlife spotting a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty cold and windy and I haven’t had much luck seeing foxes around of late but we are never short of ravens around here. The landfill is always filled with ravens and you never …
Welcome to the last post for November! One final video to top off the month and I thought why not something kind of fun and a little reminder of summer? Who doesn’t remember feeding seagulls french fries? Or marvelling at the miracle of flight? Well, today is your lucky day because I have a video that showcases a little bit …
Welcome back to the Sunday edition. This week I wanted to have a look at how animals use camouflage. I do quite a bit of research to make sure the information I write is accurate. I learn a lot about animals during this process and my reading often inspires new ideas for photos or things to watch for when out …
Hello and welcome to this week’s Sunday edition. Some of these photos may be disturbing for some people as these are images of wild animals who have injuries or deformities of an unknown origin. I can’t report on whether or not any of them have survived except for the coyote who I saw just recently. I had a very sick …
Ptarmigan are familiar birds around Yellowknife. Some years it seems like they are everywhere and other years they can be difficult to spot. The ptarmigan population fluctuates in cycles much like the hare. This will be my 9th winter in Yellowknife and there hasn’t been a year yet where I haven’t seen these chubby birds waddling around town. Ptarmigan are …
Welcome back to the Sunday edition of WildKnife Photography! This week I wanted to share a couple of wonderful encounters I had with raptors over the summer. Raptors are larger carnivorous birds that hunt and kill other animals for food. Some raptors are hunting specialists such as osprey who hunt fish. Others specialize in hunting birds and many raptors are …
Welcome back to your Sunday edition of Wildknife Photography. I am continuing my exploration and identification of sparrows this week. I hope that you had a chance to try identifying some sparrows over the past week. This week we’re going to get into the more challenging birds to identify. (at least for me!) The sparrows that I have trouble telling …
I’ll be in Ulukhaktok for the next week visiting and exploring the high arctic. I’m hoping to return with some more great memories and at least a few interesting wildlife images. In my absence, I thought this would be a great time for a two-part series on sparrows and how to identify them. “Sparrows” is a sort of blanket term …
