Holding tightly onto a branch on a gusty May 2016 afternoon at Iona Island is this male Yellow-Headed Blackbird. He often stopped for short periods between fetching meals for his offspring. His mate was also in the nearby marsh. My closest encounter with these strikingly-coloured birds!

Gorgeous Yellow-Headed Blackbird on a Windy Day Classic Round Sticker

A Hooded Merganser drake puts in a surprise appearance in one of our newer local ponds. This one is warming up his vocal chops in hopes of impressing the two hens in his small flock.

Surprised Hooded Merganser Duck at the Pond Classic Round Sticker

I discovered this small pacific tree frog in the backyard. How small is it? Well, the blades of grass look thick in this photo--that should give you an idea. 

The golf ball-sized hopper didn't do all that much hopping, and that let me walk the camera around it for 10 minutes, getting several closeups and different angles.

Quirky One-Sided Dialog with a Small Green Frog Classic Round Sticker

Also known as Diamond Sparrows, these small Australian natives are strikingly beautiful birds who are masters at incorporating black, white, brown and red into their plumage. This is the regular colour palette for the plumage.

Diamond Firetail Finch Classic Round Sticker

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.

Varied Thrush Songbird on Snowy Winter Day Classic Round Sticker

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.

Beautiful Pileated Woodpecker on the Tree Classic Round Sticker

Last year, I was fortunate enough to encounter the female Yellow-Headed Blackbird at Manning Park. This year, I saw not one of these rare visitors to Metro Vancouver, but three adult male Yellow-Headed Blackbirds (and at least one female)--the former calling attention to themselves with their golden heads and breasts, less-than-melodious birdcalls, and frequent sparring matches with the more familiar Red-Winged Blackbird males in the marshes of Iona Island.

Striking Yellow-Headed Blackbird in the Marsh Classic Round Sticker

This Eurasian Wigeon drake flew in with three American Wigeon drakes, literally crashing the party when I was photographing the Hooded Mergansers. Plenty of surprise appearances today. Eurasian Wigeons are infrequent visitors to North America shores. This is my second encounter with the male of the former species.

Handsome Stranger in Town Eurasian Wigeon Classic Round Sticker

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

Our first (and only) attempt (so far) to grow these tart but tasty heirloom tomatoes. So named Green Zebra on account of its exotic and striking green stripes on its bright lime green flesh, a two-tone color palette that remains, even when ripe.

Green Zebra Heirloom Tomatoes on the Vine Ceramic Tile

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

Back in the backyard are my FOY adult White-Crowned Sparrows, which showed up in mid-April 2016. The male (pictured here) loves to sing from the pear tree (and anywhere else in the neighbourhood he can find a suitable perch to blast his beautiful aria from (for which he can be forgiven his blueberry pinching proclivities), all day long, when he isn't engaged in the task of eating), but the female is a lady of few words.

Profile of a Pensive White-Crowned Sparrow Tote Bag

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

One of the largest of the sparrows seen in my backyard during the fall and winter. It's more often spotted on the lawn flipping over leaf litter, but I photographed this Sooty Fox Sparrow surveying the bird feeders from one of the two pear trees.

This young Bald Eagle came to within 20 feet of me as it flew over my head during my walk through the Boundary Bay Regional Park, a sprawling wildlife habitat in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on an early spring day in 2017. We locked eyes briefly (neither really daunted by the presence of the other), and then it continued to wing its way to a copse of dead birch trees where several others of its kind were roosting.
