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

You know that it's been a really cold winter in Metro Vancouver when even the usually skittish Spotted Towhees perch on the trees just a foot or two away in the hopes that you have seeds on your person! Photographed at the local wildlife refuge in mid-January 2017.

A Spotted Towhee Sparrow Songbird in a Tree Throw Pillow

Add a touch of nature to the bedroom or living room with this wildlife-themed throw. 

The search for the male Mountain Bluebird at the North Jetty of Iona Island proved futile, but this blue bird -- perched on a twig near the chain link fence along Ferguson Road by the inner ponds -- didn't disappoint. 

The Tree Swallows have indeed returned to Iona Island, but we saw far fewer now than in March 2015 at this same point in time -- and the females had already shown up, too. I observed maybe 20 in flight and just a few perched like this fellow, and not a female in sight.

Stunning Tree Swallow Songbird in the Sun Throw Pillow

Add a touch of nature and cheeriness to the bedroom or living room with this floral-themed throw! 

This is a closeup of flowering pineapple guava aka guavasteen (which resembles St. John's Wort) in the backyard. This is the self-pollinating variety, and one of the newest additions to our backyard garden. The birds have started taking notice, too. Being dark green on the avocado-shaped exterior and creamy yellow or white on the inside, though, the fruit isn't anywhere as exotic looking as the flowers.

Pineapple Guava / Guavasteen Flowers Lumbar Pillow

Add a touch of nature to the bedroom or living room with this wildlife-themed throw pillow. An early morning walk in July 2015 brings us unexpectedly face to face with the normally distant and hard to photograph Killdeer. This is the father-to-be; his mate was guarding her precious clutch of eggs in a scrape under the watchful eyes of a Bald Eagle, also nesting, not 100 feet away!

I missed seeing one of these tiny plovers in the summer, but my subject, in its non-breeding plumage, is no less beautiful for it! A rare sight for this time of the year (usually these dainty-looking shorebirds are already wintering along the coasts of the Southwestern U.S., Central America, and South America), this Semipalmated Plover was frequenting the shores of Boundary Bay at Centennial Beach during high tide, in (almost) mid-December, along with a flock of Dunlins and Sanderlings on a surprisingly sunny (and warm-for-almost-winter) day.

Red Official Service Animal Custom Photo ID Badge

This beautiful young Peregrine Falcon gave a rapt and admiring audience a brief but dramatic show of the hunting prowess and skills that have made her species one of the oldest, and most popular choices in falconry.

Profile of a Juvenile Peregrine Falcon Classic Round Sticker

Add a touch of nature to your favourite drink with this wildlife-themed stein! 

Although this fierce-looking falcon looks very much like a Peregrine, it's actually a Gyr-Saker hybrid falcon. Falconers crossbreed both in captivity with the hopes of producing a hybrid with the best traits of both species: in this case, the stamina of the large Gyrfalcon with the speed of the Saker.

My second visit to the Maplewood Conservation Area in North Vancouver produced meetings with not two, but six blacktail deer in a forest clearing ... four fawns and two does who seemed completely at ease with the small group of photographers in their midst. This is one of the two deer families ... a doe with her first year and second year fawns. Photographed in late August 2016.

Cute Curious Columbian Ground Squirrel in Grass Drawstring Bag

Take a bit of nature with you, wherever you go with this whimsical, wildlife-themed drawstring backpack! 

Columbian Ground Squirrels are the most entertaining wildlife at Manning Park, and the first ones to greet us in the parking lot of Manning Park Resort. These Prairie Dogs of the West were positioned near their network of holes in the ground (or in rotted tree stumps) and often calling in an upright position like meerkats or groundhogs (when they weren't chasing each other around or kissing). We found plenty at Manning Park Resort and Lightning Lake (particularly near the picnic tables). Columbian Ground Squirrels spend the short summer bulking up on fat reserves for their hibernation period, which lasts for seven months!

Canada Goose Grooming on the Lake Poker Cards

Canada Goose on the Lake Pillar Candle

Canada Goose on the Lake Metal Ornament

A newly adult Canada Goose grooms itself at Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake, on a cloudy fall day, the angular and swan-like curve of its neck conveying an almost regal quality to this bird. Although migratory birds in many parts of the world, some Canada Geese are all-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Photographed in early November 2016.
