Funny how everything else around the door has collapsed and yet it still stands firm, just to the left of it in what was a coat cupboard, there are still hangers hanging on a rail as well.

Although it can climb up the trunks of trees and hammer on wood like other woodpeckers, the Northern Flicker prefers to find food on the ground. Ants are its main food, and the flicker digs in the dirt to find them. It uses its long barbed tongue to lap up the ants.
Had an amazing Raptors watching tour of Pakowki Lake and Milk River areas with friend and naturalist Jerry Herzig
Observed several Ferruginous hawks, Rough legged Hawks, Swainsons Hawks, Northern Harriers, Great Horned Owls and Golden Eagles in the area.
Jerry has a wealth of knowledge on wildlife habitat and behavior.
Thoroughly enjoyed his company and hospitality.
This time last year, rain in the streets of Vancouver's Historic Gastown. The street lights on Water Street reflect off the wet cobblestone as pedestrians scramble to get out of the rain. In the winter months, a view through the leafless trees at Vancouver Lookout on top of Harbour Centre. Throwback Thursday. Captured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ March 11, 2015 ☔️

One of the only mammals, other than humans, that can manufacture its own environment, the beaver is known for building dams, canals and lodges. Its colonies are created by one or more beaver-built dams, which provide still and deep water for protection against predators. An emblem of Canada older than the maple leaf, the beaver has had a greater impact on Canadian history and exploration than any other animal or plant species.

Eastern Kingbirds (Tyrannus tyrannus) are often seen perched jauntily on a treetop or fence wire, or sallying out with shallow fluttering wingbeats to catch an insect in mid-air. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.

One of my goals is to show people incredible wildlife experiences that many people don’t get to have. My hope is by doing this, people become more aware of the importance of conserving wildlife and protecting the environment. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.
Chasing waterfalls at Elk Falls Provincial Park. Standing on the new 60m (197ft) suspension bridge courtesy of Campbell River Rotary Club, BC Hydro, BC Parks, the Federal Government and the Island Coastal Economic Trust. The bridge is designed to safely hold the equivalent of 400, 300-pound men... but it still swings a bit. Captured in Campbell River ~ November 1, 2015

The break of dawn over the Howe Sound and Porteau Bluffs. The exposed rock face you see here was the site of the landslide (July 29, 2008) that sent 16,000 cubic metres of rock crashing down onto the Sea to Sky Highway below. No one was injured but this direct route from Vancouver to Whistler was blocked for 5 days while crews removed large boulders from the highway. A similar landslide occurred at these bluffs in 1965. Captured from Porteau Cove, British Columbia, Canada ~ July 2, 2017 🌲

At flood levels, this would normally be the beach area.
It is OK to break the rules sometimes of having the midline in the middle ;)
The Western Painted Turtle is named after the bright yellow stripes on its head, neck, tail and legs, and the glowing red on its plastron (shell covering the belly).

Here in the Salish Sea, two ecotypes are commonly seen, Biggs (aka Transient) Orca, and Resident Orca. To make things even more complicated, there are two distinct populations of Resident Orca in the area, the Northern Residents, and the Southern Residents.
The two ecotypes are defined based on their food choices and social structure. The Resident Orca are salmon eaters travelling in large pods while Biggs Orca feed on other marine mammals and tend to travel in smaller matrilines. The Resident populations are named based on their common ranges. Even though there is some overlap in those ranges, social structure and differing dialects prevent the Northern Residents and Southern Residents from interbreeding.

On it's first trip out to Canada's West Coast, newly restored FP9 #4106 leads the Royal Canadian Pacific home to Calgary, AB, as the train travels east on the Cascade Sub through the Yale Tunnels near Yale, BC.
The last hues of pink and purple as the sunset was fading away, the clouds parted so that the crescent moon was visible and the reflections just make this my image of the day for July 27, 2017. Petrie Island
