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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Male Elk are notable for their impressively large antlers. It is amazing that these large structures are grown new each year by the animals in a period of a few months in spring and summer. Antlers look particularly large in summer when they are encased in velvet—a covering that protects them during growth. In later summer, the velvet is rubbed from the fully grown antlers, revealing the bony structure. Newly cleaned antlers are light grey in color but become stained by rubbing and thrashing through vegetation during the rutting season.
This was the scene before the Aurora Borealis show on Saturday night. Two long clouds stretched across Vancouver, from north to south, as the setting sun painted them pink. Looking down on the north side of the False Creek Seawall and downtown Vancouver. Captured from the Granville Bridge, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ May 7, 2016 💕☁️

As the sun set lower in the sky, and the storm clouds started to dissipate, the pinks and purples started to pop. Shot at 20 seconds with a ND1000(10 stop) filter.

Elk are sociable animals. They are seldom found without other elk nearby. The herd lifestyle is characteristic of animals that live in open country.
