A pair of goslings was accompanying their parents in Tom McCall Waterfront Park while I was on my walk. I think they're so cute at this age!
Finally I managed to find and photograph my nemesis in the open for a few split seconds! These are among my favourite birds, that necklace is absolutely stunning!
This lynx was a pleasant surprise. Until seeing this lynx, I did not know that lynx roamed up in the Arctic regions of Alaska. I was out looking for Arctic or Red Fox when I saw this Lynx walking across the tundra. At first, I thought it was a fox that I called "Stubby," because his tail was somehow lopped off so it was bobbed. As I put my long lens on it from far away, I was surprised to find out it was a Lynx. I stopped my truck and got out and started walking towards the direction the Lynx was walking. I came over a drift and the Lynx was about 30 feet in front of me walking away. I was sure it would run off but to my surprise, it turned towards me, sat down, eventually laid down, washed itself, and within an hour's time, it actually closed its eyes and drifted off to sleep.
I was so excited, that I forgot how cold it was until I turned to go back to the truck. I think I shivered all the way back to my camp.
Somewhere between Vancouver and Fort St. John we crossed these beautiful snow-covered mountains. I took advantage of a break in the cloud cover to capture this image shortly before dusk.
British Columbia, Canada. May 2022.
These are among my favourite birds, inquisitive, interesting and so expressive, they are such a joy to photograph and watch in the north! Only the smartest birds can survive in such conditions, and the Canada Jay is certainly among the most intelligent.

Warbler season is getting started here in Georgia! If anyone has interest I do have limited availability for my Blue Ridge Parkway trip this Spring. I would love for you to participate. I have completed the COVID vaccination as safety is a priority. Thanks as always for visiting!
He is singing from a Mountain Laurel. This species is quite numerous in certain areas of the southern portion of the Parkway.
I have captured this at the Sunshine Meadows Loop. It is stitched together from 5 single RAW-images. Canada is truly inspiring.
The Coast Mountains are a major mountain range in the Pacific Coast Ranges of western North America, extending from southwestern Yukon through the Alaska Panhandle and virtually all of the Coast of British Columbia south to the Fraser River. The mountain range's name derives from its proximity to the sea coast, and it is often referred to as the Coast Range. The range includes volcanic and non-volcanic mountains and the extensive ice fields of the Pacific and Boundary Ranges, and the northern end of the volcanic system known as the Cascade Volcanoes. The Coast Mountains are part of a larger mountain system called the Pacific Coast Ranges or the Pacific Mountain System, which includes the Cascade Range, the Insular Mountains, the Olympic Mountains, the Oregon Coast Range, the California Coast Ranges, the Saint Elias Mountains and the Chugach Mountains. The Coast Mountains are also part of the American Cordillera—a Spanish term for an extensive chain of mountain ranges—that consists of an almost continuous sequence of mountain ranges that form the western backbone of North America, Central America, South America and Antarctica.
The Coast Mountains are approximately 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) long and average 300 kilometres (190 mi) in width. The range's southern and southeastern boundaries are surrounded by the Fraser River and the Interior Plateau while its far northwestern edge is delimited by the Kelsall and Tatshenshini Rivers at the north end of the Alaska Panhandle, beyond which are the Saint Elias Mountains, and by Champagne Pass in the Yukon Territory. Covered in dense temperate rainforest on its western exposures, the range rises to heavily glaciated peaks, including the largest temperate-latitude ice fields in the world. On its eastern flanks, the range tapers to the dry Interior Plateau and the subarctic boreal forests of the Skeena Mountains and Stikine Plateau.
The Coast Mountains are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire—the ring of volcanoes and associated mountains around the Pacific Ocean—and contain some of British Columbia's highest mountains. Mount Waddington is the highest mountain of the Coast Mountains and the highest that lies entirely within British Columbia, located northeast of the head of Knight Inlet with an elevation of 4,019 metres (13,186 ft).

Our best view of these majestic mountains was from the ferry as we traveled from Victoria, on Vancouver Island, back to the mainland.

Eagle-Eye Tours - Ultimate British Columbia.
Terribly funny! The necks of those geese sticking out of the high grass seemed to get longer and longer the closer I got, but they did not want to get up. In the end I turned around to walk a differend path lest they hurt those graceful necks :)
