Stunning Tree Swallow Songbird on the Wire Glass Coaster

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen or dining room with this whimsical, wildlife-themed glass coaster. 

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 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.

Cute Semipalmated Plover Shorebird on Winter Beach Glass Coaster

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen or dining room with this whimsical, wildlife-themed glass coaster. 

Sanderlings are tiny -- and surprisingly, quite approachable -- migratory shorebirds which can be easily found on Vancouver beaches in the coldest winter months. This one was strolling quite leisurely on the shoreline. Photographed on a very sunny and busy winter afternoon at Boundary Bay Regional Park.

Cute Sanderling Shorebird Wanders a Winter Beach Glass Coaster

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen or dining room with this whimsical, wildlife-themed glass coaster. 

Blue Jays may be one of North America's most iconic bird species, but they are rarely found on the West Coast. However, this one has discovered that Ladner Harbor Park in beautiful British Columbia is a great place to hang out and avoid the nasty snowfalls of the east. S/he's been "resident" in this forest since early November 2020 and grants an audience to whomever is willing to shell out a handout of peanuts first. Photographed in late March 2021.

Cute Blue Jay Songbird on Treestump Glass Coaster

Add a touch of nature to Christmas and year-end festivities with this whimsical, wildlife-themed glass coaster, which features a feathered trio of Snowy Owls, having what looks like a chuckle and chortle at the photographer! 

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.

Vision of a Beautiful Young Golden Eagle Glass Coaster

Add a touch of nature and elegance to the kitchen or dining room with this wildlife-themed glass coaster. 

With water beading off his inflatable crest, and a simultaneously striking and conservative palette of blacks, whites, and cinnamon brown, the adult male Hooded Merganser is one winter duck species that makes you stop and stare. They will swallow large fresh pond fish whole by stretching that normally hidden neck of theirs to a foot in length. This handsome, unperturbable gent was swimming in the ponds at the local wildlife sanctuary--not surprised to see so many humans moving in a like direction--in late December 2019.

Stunning Hooded Merganser Duck in Pond Glass Coaster

Bring a bit of furry whimsy with you, wherever you go, with this adorable, dog-themed tote, which features perhaps the cutest of all Spitz dogs, the enthusiastic little package known as the Pomeranian! 

Ella the Pomeranian was so happy to be the focus of attention that she forgot (for once) to run to the photographer, and instead cracked a smile for me. Photographed in late June 2018.

Cute Laughing Pomeranian Dog Tote Bag

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs. 

The brighter-colored male on the left was temporarily stunned when he flew into window mesh a few days before Christmas 2014, but, after a few minutes, flew off, none the worse for wear. Photographed almost a year later, the female on the right was busy indulging in bright orange pyracantha pomes (that match her plumage!) on a rainy day in mid-November 2014.

Elegant Japanese Miniature Crested Iris on Black Canvas Print

Add a touch of nature to treasured memories and moments with this wildlife-themed binder! The perfect choice for bird lovers!

Rufous Hummingbirds have usually left Metro Vancouver for Mexico by mid August, so it was a delight to see and photograph this exceedingly feisty straggler in the backyard. This little scrapper has been (successfully, for the past two days) giving grief to the juvenile male Anna's hummingbird who has owned the backyard for most of the summer (as well as the other feathered friends who visit), vigorously defending every flower and feeder in sight. This hybrid fruit tree branch has become its favorite perch, and gave me quite a few photographic opportunities. Photographed on September 4, 2016.

Adorable Rufous Hummingbird on Branch Binder

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging and elegant wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory.

A presumed hobby farm escapee, this adult male Mandarin Duck has been seen in the company of the Wood Ducks of Piper Spit. He has called Burnaby Lake home since he was first spotted in 2018. His stunning pastiche of ruffs, dazzling color palette, and "fins" make him such a dreamboat to photograph. Mother Nature left nothing to the artist's imagination when she made this creature! Photographed at Burnaby Lake in early March 2020.
