Osprey at Shuswap Lake
Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons.
Natural cavities for nesting are scarce, and the Wood Duck readily uses nest boxes provided for it. If nest boxes are placed too close together, many females lay eggs in the nests of other females.

The American Redstart is a lively warbler that flits about very actively among tree branches in search of insects. Redstarts take more flying prey than most other warbler species, and they compete with other flycatching species (such as Least Flycatcher) for the same prey.

The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep is the largest wild sheep inhabiting North America. A large ram may weigh over 300 pounds and stand over 42 inches tall at the shoulder.
It was a rewarding close to a long hot Alberta Summer day with an enchanting sunset on a calm lake near Calgary.

Though its scientific name translates to “American antelope goat,” pronghorns are not part of the antelope family. These mammals have deer-like bodies covered in short, reddish-brown fur with white patches on their cheeks, chest, belly, rump and legs. Both male and female pronghorns have horns.
In this serene winter scene, a lone bald eagle perches with quiet majesty against the vast, snowy backdrop. With its piercing gaze and powerful stance, this magnificent bird embodies strength and resilience. Capturing such moments of solitude and grandeur in nature reminds us of the eagle’s role as a symbol of freedom and its unyielding connection to the wild.
You can imagine my excitement when this Sora (Porzana carolina), usually a secretive species, walked out from the dense marshy growth and into full view at the edge of the pond, and began to take a bath. In this shot, the rail is going up in the air before plunging its head underwater during its brief but vigorous bath. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.
A carpet of red oak leaves cover the pathway on a brisk morning at Jericho Beach Park. Light fog and frost in the distance as the first rays of sunshine light up the tree in front of me. This park bench with a beautiful autumn view includes a little birdhouse within reach. Captured in Point Grey in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ October 24, 2018 🍂
Cool Fact:
The word “sniper” originated in the 1770s among British soldiers in India who hunted snipe as game. The birds are still hunted in many countries, including the U.S., though their fast, erratic flight style means they are difficult targets.
A young deer standing alert among tall grasses, bathed in soft, morning light that accentuates its delicate features. The subtle play of shadows and warm tones creates a sense of calm and connection with nature.
The wood bison is the largest land animal in Canada. Adults have dark brown coats with long shaggy fur on their shoulders and legs. They have large humps on their backs, and very large heads. Male bison are typically larger than female bison.
Earlier last summer, on our way to southern Alberta for our annual birdwatching-nature excursion, this captivating scenery at the Old Man River crossing captured my attention, and made us to stop and take in the sight and the atmosphere.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, it's pretty safe to say that winter will be over in 9 days. Looking down at the mouth of the Indian Arm while Boulder Island catches the sun, Deep Cove in North Vancouver gets a dump of snow. If you look close, you can see Quarry Rock between the two hydro towers. Hamber Island, Coome, Belcarra on the right.

With their tremendous physical power and vitality, moose can travel over almost any terrain. Long legs carry them easily over deadfall trees or through snow that would stop a deer or wolf. Their cloven hooves and dewclaws spread widely to provide support when they wade through soft muskeg or snow. When frightened they may crash noisily through the underbrush, but in spite of their great size even full-grown, antlered bulls can move almost as silently as a cat through dense forest.

As the sky blushes with the colors of sunset, a lone deer leaps effortlessly across the field, embodying the beauty and freedom of the wild. In this photograph, the delicate balance between light and movement captures a rare harmony found in nature. Moments like these are fleeting, yet they remind us of the untamed spirit that resides in every living creature, moving gracefully through its world without constraint.

Rather than do their own fishing, Bald Eagles often go after other creatures’ catches. A Bald Eagle will harass a hunting Osprey until the smaller raptor drops its prey in midair, where the eagle swoops it up. A Bald Eagle may even snatch a fish directly out of an Osprey’s talons. Fishing mammals (even people sometimes) can also lose prey to Bald Eagle piracy.
Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere). The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying color and complexity.
