Elegant Gold and Crimson Calla Lilies Ceramic Knob

Sanderlings are tiny -- and surprisingly, quite approachable -- migratory shorebirds that can be easily found on Vancouver beaches in the coldest winter months. This one was foraging on the shoreline with 100 of its kind and a few Dunlins. Photographed on a sunny autumn afternoon at Boundary Bay Regional Park.

Cute Little Sanderling at the Beach Ceramic Knob

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.

An adorable Black-Capped Chickadee looks longingly at the food presented in two different hands, and wonders if it should go for sunflower seeds from hand A or hand B. Decisions, decisions.

Colorful Medley of African Daisies Flowers Ceramic Knob

Our resident adult male Anna's hummingbird has never let me photograph him at close range, but on one evening in early June 2016, he came to sit on one of the old plum tree branches, just a few feet away from me. 

Perhaps, after seeing how comfortable the four visiting Rufous hummingbirds were around me, he probably figured that there wasn't anything scary about me -- and that I might even afford him some protection from the little hellraisers. So rather than being on the receiving end of his metallic scratchy or tick-tick-tick calls, he stared for a few moments into my lens, and then went to feed from the nectar feeder before making a much less frenzied exit than was his usual style.

Stunning Male Anna's Hummingbird on the Plum Tree Ceramic Knob

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.

Add a touch of nature to your bathroom with this floral-themed shower curtain!

These oxeye daisies (also known by their other aliases of "moon daisies", and "dog daisies") were photographed on a cloudy day that gave way to lots of sunshine at the UBC Botanical Gardens in mid-June 2016.

One of the larger shorebirds to visit Metro Vancouver during the spring and summer months, I spotted this pair of juvenile Marbled Godwits catching some autumn sunshine on the mudflats with a medley of American Wigeons, Eurasian Wigeons, and Mallards. Photographed at Blackie Spit, South Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, in November 2018.

Bring a bit of nature with you, wherever you go, with this whimsical, wildlife-themed tote! 

In a cute moment highly reminiscent of another bushtit family gathering from 2016, three young songbird fledglings roost together in the sun-dappled shade of the pear tree, while parents and helpers (older siblings) pick grubs from the leaves nearby, while keeping up a steady stream of conversation. My young subjects were only too willing to oblige for my lens. Photographed in late May 2020.

Perhaps the most cosmopolitan of swallows, Barn Swallows are easily identified in flight, thanks to those copper bellies and iridescent blue feathers. Harder is getting a still of these colourful and active aerialists, but once in a while, they oblige me!

Add a touch of nature to your car with this wildlife-inspired air freshener! Perfect for bird lovers!

My closest encounter with a magnificent male Pileated Woodpecker, who was busy carving out a hole in a very tall tree. Rather than be spooked by the presence of a photographer nearby, this largest of North American woodpeckers would stop briefly to see who was rustling the dead leaves on the forest floor, and then resume his woodworking activities. Photographed on Galiano Island in the early evening of July 3, 2017.

An attractive raptor with a heart-shaped facial disc, the Barn Owl is gifted with extraordinary hearing — it can even hear the heartbeats of everyone in a 30 square foot room — and silent flight, which lets it descend on and capture rats and mice with extreme stealth. As nocturnal creatures, these endowments are critical when hunting in (sometimes) complete darkness.

WWN Vignetted Profile of a Beautiful Serene Barn Owl

The pink morph rock pigeon at Reifel may have eluded me, but this lovely, showstopping leucistic Rock Dove at Burnaby Lake/Piper Spit took my breath away. It did a fair amount of foraging and flying with an unusually large flock of its normally-pigmented fellows.

Perhaps, by virtue of the attention and food that was being lavished on the account of its pure white plumage, this specimen seemed to be inordinately aware of its distinctiveness -- and "greeted" me before I had even reached the boardwalk of the spit. It followed various other photographers around, too. Quite entertaining to watch!
