This whimsical wildlife design features a pair of Hooded Merganser ducks, engaged in mid-winter courtship rituals at the local pond.

With their inflatable headwear and striking plumage, Hooded Mergansers are a treat to find (but hard to photograph because of their skittish nature). Fortunately, this pair--part of a small flock at the local pond--was too caught up in courtship rituals to notice the photographer in their midst.

This wildlife design features an adult male Golden Pheasant (the red variation) through the green haze of palm leaves. This unintended vignette lent a subtle artistry to my capture, but did little to disguise his stunning gold and red plumage. If the phoenix had a mortal incarnation, this surely must be it.

Colorful Japanese Andromeda Bonfire Shrub Lumbar Pillow

Japanese Andromeda aka Pieris Japonica is one of my favorite shrubs. It is one of the first plants to flower in the spring--making it an early and obvious choice for pollinators like bumblebees and honeybees--and its slow growing nature makes it an easy-to-maintain natural border plant. Its medley of young dark red leaves, mature yellowish green leaves, and white bell-shaped flowers contrasts nicely against a blue sky and makes for spectacular landscape shots.

Green-Winged Teals are starting to mass in greater numbers at Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake, as winter passes its halfway point. A number of these small dabbling ducks are also starting to engage in springtime courtship behaviours. This drake was particularly vocal, and gave me a good angle of himself in the process.

Keep notes, reminders, and more in this whimsical, wildlife-themed journal.  

He's so fly when he smiles! If that isn't an eye-to-eye grin, I don't know what is! After eluding me in the backyard for a week, this male Scarlet Meadowhawk (one of two males who showed up today and briefly tussled) finally decided to come back to earth on top of one of the bamboo stakes. He didn't even mind me sticking the macro lens in his face for this closeup, which makes Little Red look like he's ready to order his favourite poison at the bar. :)

Cute Chillin' Mallard Mom Duck & Baby Duckling Tote Bag

My first-of-year-Mallard-mom-with-baby-on-her-back (one of eight) sighting at the local pond today. Both are sitting in a little grassy area just off the water. These ducklings couldn't be more than a few days old, and already they were swimming and floating like little corks under the watchful eye of Mother Mallard (who was anything but a Mother Hen).

The second time I've seen Dunlins since first spotting a small flock huddled together in their breeding plumage (with their trademark black belly patches), on a cold spring day on the Iona Jetty spit in 2010. Three were part of a larger group of 10-12, who were fraternizing with a larger flock of Sanderlings (60) and a single out-of-season Semipalmated Plover (not pictured here).

Flock of Dunlins and Sanderlings at the Beach Doormat

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen or dining room with this wildlife-themed serving tray! The perfect choice for bird lovers! The label of lovebirds is particularly fitting for rock pigeons; they mate for life, and mourn the passing of their mates much as most humans would. Rock pigeons--like this pair--were engaging in courtship rituals or being overly affectionate with each other in Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon. These morphs were not rare; in fact, we saw quite a few pairs sporting these colour combinations. Even odder still, the white/partially leucistic ones were males, and the brown morphs females! Apparently, gentlemen prefer redheads here!
