Every golfer should be able to get at least one birdie per game -- and in this photo, I've got quite a few!

After getting used to the presence of a photographer in their midst, an entire flock of 100+ Sanderlings suddenly decided to take to the skies, and circle the shore just above the water several times.

This female Anna's hummingbird adds a bit of colour and personality to the backyard on a rainy day. She is quiet and stealthy--and can often materialize without making a sound. Contrast this behaviour with that of the male, who makes himself heard well before I see him. Photographed perching on the Scarlet Trumpet vine after furtively having several long sips from the new nectar feeder--which has also drawn the attention and interest of at least one Black-Capped Chickadee, too.

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this whimsical, wildlife-themed tie.  One of my favourite birds to photograph, and one of the most elusive as well. This lovely male Varied Thrush was a bit stunned but none the worse for wear after flying into a window, but he chose to take five on the cherry tree -- giving me time to capture his beauty from the upper floor sunroom, some 15 feet away.

Mesmerizing Golden Eyes of a Spectacled Owl Neck Tie

My first encounter with this large and beautiful Central and South American native. Although never having met one before, somehow I knew that the bright yellow eyes, white eyebrows, and black patches around the eyes could only belong to the Spectacled Owl.

An overcast day is best for capturing the scintillating pink balaclava of the Anna's hummingbird, but that doesn't mean the subject will be any closer! This is the adult male who was given the ouster/bill/boot by a visiting female Rufous hummingbird a few weeks ago. He has since returned, and she is now the visitor. He's sitting on the old plum tree and giving the photographer the eyeball.

Anna's Hummingbird: This King Wears a Pink Crown Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  

One of an unexpectedly large flock of 30 Buffleheads, who were swimming in a local pond at Ambleside Park in early December 2016. These seaducks were uncharacteristically bold, and venturing as far to land as a few feet away from the water's edge. More than a handful--like this handsome adult male--looked like they were expectantly waiting handouts of birdseed from the watching birders and photographers, and yet, when none was forthcoming, resumed their activities of swimming, preening, or diving for food.

Handsome Bufflehead Duck at the Winter Pond Neck Tie

Isn't she lovely? This female Rufous hummingbird poses calmly for my camera on the old plum tree in the backyard. With the very early arrival (and disappearance) of the males in March and April as they migrate to as far north as Alaska, we have had a veritable dearth of yardbirds. Her continued presence means that life will become much more "interesting" for the resident Anna's (particularly the males). Not coincidentally, we are also seeing more birds in the backyard now.

During a rather warm morning in February 2019, in Abbotsford's Mill Lake Park, I was privileged to meet a handsome male Cape May Warbler, feeding on the mahonia--better known as Oregon grape. Both bird and blossom were equally odd to see at that time of the year -- the former for being in the area at all (in fact, it was the first recorded sighting of this species in Metro Vancouver) and the latter for mysteriously flowering in the dead of winter!

My friendly feathered subject (who should have been overwintering in a more tropical place like Barbados or the Turks & Caicos) was an instant celebrity, and quickly became accustomed to all the lenses pointed his way as he made himself eating or resting in the mahonia.

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.

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.
