The Eastern Grey Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis, is much like the Black-capped Chickadee in that it is a species that practices caching. Eastern Grey Squirrels' amazing spatial memory allows for them to have in excess of several thousand caches per season.

The Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, can live in excess of 40 years and is known to mate for life. That wingspan though.


May, 24th, 2014


The rain is a minor deterent to the enthusiastic Northern Flicker, Colaptes auratus. In these parts it seems the Flickers are neither Yellow-shafted nor Red-shafted, this fine fellow exhibits a yellow undercarriage and a red nape like a Yellow-shafted Flicker and a grey face and brown crown like a Red-shafted Flicker. Rejoice for hybrids.

A common seagull you presume? No, you are wrong. The Glaucous Gull is an arctic seagull not commonly found in B.C.

The lord's grace is seen gleaming off every aspect of nature, glean some of that grace for yourself just like this femaile Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

If the White Crowned Sparrow(right) and the Spotted Towhee(left) can get along, maybe there is hope for humanity.

The Coyote, Canis latrans, occurs from Panama in Central America all the way to Alaska in the upper regions of North America. It varies its hunting methods depending on the prey it stalks; Coyotes stalk small rodents in a cat-like fashion, but will use wolf-life tactics and pack formations to stalk mature Elk. Coyotes are extremely patient carnivores and will hunt their prey up to 21 hours if necessary.



 May, 16th, 2014

 May, 15th, 2014

Dos delightfully delicate does drift dazily down daisy dirt distances drawing drops of dew towards their beaks.



 May, 13th, 2014





A scattering of leaves and a slithering sound reveal a wonderful little limbless friend, or perhaps he is nothing but limb. Rejoice.



 May, 12th, 2014





Unlike the city, in nature everything is beautiful.



 May, 11th, 2014





Kicking its feet up and staying g'd up, the Song Sparrow, Melospiza melodia, encounters a delightful gust of wind that ruffles its feathers, but doesn't ruffle its feathers.


 May, 10th, 2014





One avian friend that has managed to avoid our shutter, but not our sights, for quite some time, the American Goldfinch, Carduelis tristis, still manages to get one over on us by staying out of focus. One day we will rejoice.


 May, 9th, 2014





City folk dont get to see Coyotes with quality coats like these. Rejoice for the country.


 May, 8th, 2014





Sorry buddy, looks as though you hit the warehouse window. You'll be remembered for your yams.


 May, 7th, 2014





Sorry, but it's a stick. Not many whimsical things can be said.


 May, 6th, 2014



Bewick's Wren, Thryomanes bewickii, stares half-heartedly towards the heavens in an attempt to discover his purpose.


 May, 5th, 2014





You were here way before Hortons, and for that, I respect you Robin. You and your doughnuts.


 May, 4th, 2014





An object in motion will stay in motion unless a net force is exerted upon it. Bewick's Wren is in motion as an object.


 May, 3rd, 2014





Many may wonder what this bird is, but truly it is just the female counterpart of the Red-winged Blackbird. That is surely some sexual dimorphism. It is and don't call me shirley.


 May, 2nd, 2014





Chime the town bells, call the priest, inform the doctor; we have a new species on the footsteps; The Rufous Hummingbird.


 May, 1st, 2014





You have a crown of gold. Why are you sad? Poor poor Golden Crowned Sparrow.
