Show off your love of nature with this wildlife-themed pinback button, which features an inquisitive Red-Breasted Nuthatch!

The Red-Breasted Nuthatches who patronize the backyard are all business when it comes to procuring sunflower seeds (although they may linger on the suet feeder). They are even quicker to dash and dine (or dash and cache) than the Black-Capped Chickadees, so it is extremely rare to see the former even perched on a branch for any length of time.

Beautiful Red-Breasted Nuthatch on a Branch Pinback Button

Show off your love of nature with this wildlife-themed pinback button that features an unusually close encounter with a Black-Headed Grosbeak! 

I was surprised to learn that Black-Headed Grosbeaks will fly to the ground to eat seed; my previous encounters with these strikingly-colored finches was strictly up (way up!) in the trees. This handsome fellow showed no restraints about catching some sun on the boardwalk, either, and unwittingly gave me several closeups of himself in the process. Photographed at Campbell Valley Regional Park on July 2, 2016.

Show off your love of nature with this whimsical, wildlife-themed pinback button which features a bold young Douglas Squirrel giving the photographer a serious once-over.

Saucy Red Squirrel in the Fir Button

Show off your love of nature with this wildlife-themed pinback button that features a rather surprised female Great Horned Owl! 

A female Great Horned Owl wows the crowds at the Seventh Annual Raptor Festival in Terra Nova Rural Park, Richmond. Owls have ears that are not level with each other — one is higher than the other, and each earhole is even angled a bit differently too. Quite the sound system.

Staring Contest with a Beautiful Great Horned Owl Pinback Button

Show off your love of nature with this elegant, wildlife-themed pinback button.

Finding this Great Egret in the winter grass and reeds fronting a Langley farm on December 31, 2018, was a great way to wrap up the year. My subject was neither disturbed by the trio of photographers capturing its every move, nor by the traffic roaring down the 2-lane road, and in fact, ventured to with 15 feet of me to feed. 

Whatever caused this migratory heron (which is an ultra-rare bird in Canada) to spend its decidedly non-tropical vacation here instead of at its regular winter stomping grounds in Miami, Mexico, and Guatemala is a mystery -- but one that I am very grateful for.

Elegant Great Egret in the Reeds Button

Show off your love of nature with this whimsical, wildlife-themed pinback button that features a Green-Winged Macaw!

With a vibrant palette of colors, it seems a little understated to simply describe this large, talkative and sociable parrot a Green-Winged Macaw--and yet that's what her species is known as!

Profile of a Pretty Green-Winged Macaw Pinback Button

Show off your love of nature with this whimsical, wildlife-themed pinback button that features a young Blacktail deer fawn! 

My second visit to the Maplewood Conservation Area in North Vancouver produced meetings with not two, but six blacktail deer in a clearing ... four fawns and two does who seemed completely at ease with the small group of photographers in their midst. The younger ones seemed almost as curious about the humans as we were about them! This fawn was extremely happy to be alive, bounding in a very Bambi-esque manner through the forest! Photographed in late August 2016.

A Beautiful Marsh Wren in--Where Else?--the Marsh Can Cooler

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

Meet Ela, Teddy's high-maintenance girlfriend. Unlike him, she is an attention-seeking sweetie, and her fur is the picture of perfection. Meeting you at the gates isn't enough; this dainty, but seldom still Pomeranian will make sure that you dole out scratches and cuddles to her as often as possible, which is all the time. 

She is the happiest when she's the center of everyone's attention, which is also all the time. This has made her My Little Shadow on many occasions, but she is nimble enough to not actually get underfoot and become a speed bump.

Every time I tried to get closer to her or crouch down to take a photo at her level, she would start walking towards me (to the amusement of all her human cohorts).

Maihuenia poeppigii may not be the easiest thing to pronounce, but that doesn't make these butter yellow Chilean cactus flowers any less eyecatching. Photographed in mid-June 2017.
