The first time I've had the opportunity to shoot a Bewick's Wren out in the open, and at fairly close range. This beautiful long-tailed songbird must have sensed that I wanted to photograph it, and returned my curiosity with its own by posing on this branch for a few moments. Photographed in January 2017.

Beautiful, Dreamy and Serene Snowy Owl Tie

Owls are such fascinating creatures. They are front page newsmakers, drawing the interest of birders, nature lovers, and just about everyone else who has a pulse. Snowy Owls are especially charismatic; the largest owls in North America only show up in Metro Vancouver every few years, and their appearance during our winters causes crowds of admirers and fans to form and flock.

WWN Beautiful Dreamy & Serene Snowy Owl

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  

The fall migration of birds is always an exciting phenomenon to witness. I never know what will make a stopover at the local beach (which doubles as an Important Bird Area, or IBA) on any given day, and the sharply-dressed, crimson-billed Caspian Tern doesn't disappoint. Photographed in late August 2016 at Boundary Bay Regional Park.

Truly an "out-of-water" flower! With the exception of its mesmerizing spore-like center, this large blue anemone (not the sea-dwelling creature) could almost be a daisy. Photographed at the VanDusen Botanical Gardens.

Elegant Blue Anemone Flower Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  This male Downy Woodpecker announced himself quite vocally with a trademark chip-chip-chip repertoire just before making an appearance on this dead tree. He proceeded to peck away at his perch, oblivious of the solitary camera lens trained on him and the many walkers on the trail.

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  One of two American Kestrels we saw whilst driving through Surrey during BC Family Day 2016. Though not a closeup -- my subject was about 15-20 feet above my head and 25 feet away -- the sun lit him enough to capture his magnificent plumage (another photo I took of his back showed blue and orange wings--confirming his gender). My first sighting in the wild of North America's tiniest falcon, and the first time I have seen the male of the species. It surprised me to learn that insects, not songbirds, are the staples of their diet.

A Short-Eared Owl surveys its hunting grounds for opportunistic Northern Harriers who would not hesitate to take advantage of the fruit of its hunting prowess. Sudden gusts of wind fluff this hunter's head feathers, revealing the short ear tufts for which this owl is named. Photographed on a late afternoon in late November 2017.

Portrait of a Short-Eared Owl in the Marshes Neck Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  This beautiful young Peregrine Falcon -- who is being rehabilitated for eventual release -- was unintentionally vignetted when I photographed it through a hole in the fence. However, my subject knew to give me its best side!

Vignetted Profile of a Peregrine Falcon Tie

Isn't she lovely? This female Rufous hummingbird poses calmly for my camera on the old plum tree in the backyard. With the very early arrival (and disappearance) of the males in March and April as they migrate to as far north as Alaska, we have had a veritable dearth of yardbirds. Her continued presence means that life will become much more "interesting" for the resident Anna's (particularly the males). Not coincidentally, we are also seeing more birds in the backyard now.

Fittonia Mosaic Plant with Variegated Leaves Pillar Candle

That the Surf Scoters of White Rock Pier are habituated to the presence of humans is a bit of an understatement. This handsome and tame drake was one of hundreds of these large black seaducks who routinely passed under the boardwalk during a crisp but sunny morning visit in early November 2019, giving great bird's eye views of that colorful and comically oversized schnoz that the ladies of his kind have found so fascinating for so long.

One of a dozen of Harlequin Ducks I had the fortune of meeting at the beach, and my closest encounter with these diving sea ducks. Interestingly, all were adult males in near or full breeding plumage and showing off their slate grey, white, and rich cinnamon feathers, but there were no ladies of their own kind to impress. Photographed on the first full day of spring 2017.

Stunning Spotted Towhee Songbird on Snowy Branch Adult Cloth Face Mask

Add a touch of nature and elegance to the living room, bed room, or any room in your home with this wildlife-themed throw! 

Normally quite reticent to get close to humans when mature, this almost adult Bald Eagle was the exception to the rule -- and more than content to showcase its regal beauty and not the least bit flustered as trail users walked and biked on the same path, not 10 feet away away from its perch on a dead tree. Photographed on a smoky evening (courtesy of forest fires in the BC interior) in mid-August 2018.
