November 26, 2016 • 1 Comment

"ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPRING" Rocky Mountain Sheep (2 Males) (Kananaskas, Alberta, Canada) These two followed each other down to the spring/stream for what must have been a very cold but refreshing drink. Almost sunset and an interesting insight into Rocky Mountain Sheep at perhaps one of their favourite "watering holes".

November 21, 2016 • Leave a Comment

"SHADOW CREATURE" Coyote (Spray Lakes, Alberta, Canada) By not getting quite what you would like (i.e. a clear shot of this coyote without the tall grass and shrubbery), sometimes provides an opportunity to view the result from a different perspective. Coyotes with their camouflage colouring, can blend into their surroundings and appear to inhabit...

"A NEW DAWN" American Bald Eagles (Male & Female) - 2 photos It was the sound of an eagle which brought me to down to where these two were perched. Perhaps, not the "song" of the little songbirds but definitely a wonderful (and somewhat chilling) call. Having had an opportunity to more closely view the two, it appears the one on the right is the fe...

"EARTH'S HEARTBEAT" Hairy Woodpecker (Male) Living in Alberta and surrounded by such incredible wildlife as the moose, grizzly bear, elk, etc., it's sometimes easy to forget that even the smallest things (or animals) can have significant meaning. Having done a quick search for the symbolism of the woodpecker, it appears its meaning has been transl...

"FAMILY TREE" - American Bald Eagle (Female & Male - 2 photos)

November 08, 2016 • Leave a Comment

"FAMILY TREE" American Bald Eagles (Male & Female - 2 photos) It wasn't difficult to determine male and female in this pair of eagles (the female being so much larger).

"ZOOMED IN" American Bald Eagle (Adult - Female) - 3 photos Being extremely fortunate in spotting both adults and one juvenile in a tree along the Bow River, I managed to set up before the female took flight. It was slightly unnerving looking down the lens and having "Mrs." looking right back from the other side, eye to eye.Thank goodness, in this...
