Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  The second time I've seen Dunlins since first spotting a small flock huddled together in their breeding plumage (with their trademark black belly patches), on a cold spring day on the Iona Jetty spit in 2010. Three were part of a larger group of 10-12, who were fraternizing with a larger flock of Sanderlings (60) and a single out-of-season Semipalmated Plover (not pictured here).

Flock of Dunlins and Sanderlings at the Beach Bath Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this whimsical, wildlife-themed bath mat, which features a feathered trio of Snowy Owls, having what looks like a chuckle and chortle at the photographer! 

Wildlife and the magic of the holiday season go hand in hand, and no bird wears winter better or is more strongly associated with the season of cold than the charismatic Snowy Owl. 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.

Dreamy Wisdom of Snowy Owls Bath Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  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.

A rare moment of co-operation and tenderness between Sanderlings (who are more likely to go solo or chase each other during their hunts) in their search for snacks on the shore.

After more than 2 years of trying to impress a large coterie of female Wood Ducks at Piper Spit, this adult male Mandarin Duck, a presumed escapee from a hobby farm, has finally picked up a girlfriend. He has been extremely attentive to and around her, even keeping would-be suitors at bay. Photographed in early March 2020.

Beautiful Mandarin and Wood Ducks at the Pond Bath Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  Another gorgeous loner, a late migrant Whimbrel, wanders the autumn shores on an early sunny afternoon at the south side of the Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty in its (highly successful) search for crabs. This wading bird--normally gone by early fall in Metro Vancouver--has overstayed its welcome, to the delight of wildlife photographers, instead of heading to South America with its chums.

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 Getting the Staredown from a Tree Swallow in the Nestbox

Hold the winning "wild" card with these whimsical, nature-themed playing cards! 

Seems like everyone's got a weakness for nuts and seeds, including this Bewick's Wren. Their complex and euphonic repertoire more than makes up for their understated brown plumage. Photographed in late March 2021.

Bewick's Wren Songbird on Treestump Playing Cards

Mid-autumn brings the return of Buffleheads to the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. While one or two of these diminutive ducks will partake of the birdseed thrown in the water, the rest generally keep their distance from humans and the other duck species.

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.

Festive Red White Floral Poinsettias Ping Pong Paddle

WWN Bumblebee on Flowering Carrot Jigsaw Puzzle

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, nature-themed puzzle, which depicts one of several bumblebees on the flowering carrot in our backyard. We don't usually get as many of these fuzzy insects as we do the honeybees, but the former can be quite large (defying the laws of physics and aviation at times) and generally much easier to photograph than the latter.
