A premier visit from a nondescript but stunningly beautiful singer, a Warbling Vireo, in one of the old plum tree. This small songbird was gathering nesting material during the third bird fallout we've experienced this year in the backyard! Photographed in mid-May 2017.

The outboard motor on this male Hooded Merganser appears to be fully functional and in hyperdrive. No doubt, he was quite surprised to see any humans out during this unseasonably prolonged cold snap. He and a small flock of three hens represented their species at Boundary Bay Regional Park in mid-December 2016.

Seeing a Downy Woodpecker (usually the female) on the backyard suet feeder isn't unusual. Seeing this male (busy whittling wood here) and his female (unseen, but preening herself nearby) on the pear tree just when we got a spot of sunshine over the Great Backyard Bird Count 2017 (Feb 17-20) weekend, was!

About 4 of the 10 Horned Grebes we spotted at Blackie Spit were swimming and diving uncharacteristically close to the main walking path of Crescent Beach -- close for Horned Grebes, that is (about 20-30 feet away). The fishing was obviously quite good near shore. My closest encounter with these birds. They are exhibiting neither the flamboyant yellow horns nor red-and-black breeding plumage during this season, but those red eyes and dapper tux are nonetheless mesmerizing!

The lady tulip is a welcome springtime blossom; this award-winning cultivar, known as the Lady Jane, sports star-shaped, tri-colored petals that boast the purest white with shades of pink and yellow on the exterior. Photographed in late April 2018.

I've only met the Blue-Winged Teals this year, and each encounter has brought me progressively closer to these summering migrants! Like Gadwall drakes, Blue-Winged Teal drakes dress conservatively for their women. No flashy feathers are necessary -- just plenty of personality!

After sitting outside for an hour and a half as the afternoon snow fell quickly and in fat clumps this afternoon, this beautiful male Varied Thrush finally ventured to the bowl of the seed on the ground. Occasionally, he would look up and gaze in my direction before resuming his meal. After eating his fill (and keeping the other, smaller songbirds at bay), he returned to flipping leaf litter under the thicket. My first time photographing a Varied Thrush in the snow. Taken in early February 2017.

Stunning Varied Thrush Songbird on Snowy Day Photo Print

Perfectly reflected in the tranquil waters of this pond is this Northern Pintail drake. They may be most commonly seen in West Coast winters, but I've encountered these ducks all year round at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this whimsical, wildlife-themed tie.  This was a Christmas Day filled with plenty of birds in the backyard -- including this rather introspective Black-Capped Chickadee looking skyward on the pear tree. Sunny skies and chilly temps made my puffed up and sleepy feathered friends reluctant to stir from their perches, and that led to a few opportunities for closeups of birds I normally find difficult to get stills of.

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.

Elegant Yellow Pink Daylilies Leggings

Who, me? This adorable Barred Parakeet looks like it should have a halo above its head as it pulls a look of innocence at an apple half. Linnies--another of their aliases--are also available in many other colour mutations, including blue, lutino, golden, and violet. These friendly, mild-mannered, curious, and "soft-spoken" little birds will quietly observe humans. You may not know you're being watched until you notice one staring at you! Unlike the bigger parrots and macaws, Linnies are not loud talkers (but they are great mimics if started at an early age), and these traits, coupled with their sweet dispositions, make them good pets.

A hilarious addition to the Easter gift basket -- one that's sure to instill warm and fuzzy feelings, and get a chuckle or two out of senders and recipients! Customize with your name and/or greeting, or use as is!
