From its driftwood perch, a Short-Eared Owl listens for the heartbeats of voles in the marshes of the Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area in British Columbia, Canada. Photographed on a late afternoon in mid-January 2018.

Short-Eared Owl in the Marsh Postcard

I spotted this youngster sitting on this little island all by itself at Piper Spit, amongst many other recent springtime arrivals from more distant shores. I wondered if independence been foisted upon it at a very early age, for I saw neither mother Mallard nor siblings in the immediate area, and yet this precocious duckling seemed to be more than capable of fending for and feeding itself.

Cute and Precocious Mallard Duckling Postcard

With a bright white bib that looks like the cravats sported by the well-heeled during Elizabethan and Victorian times, this handsome domestic Mallard (of the Duclair designer "persuasion") was definitely the odd duck out at the local wildlife sanctuary. That didn't stop this debonair duck from charming the photographers in his midst, and moving his way to the forefront of the feeding frenzy that included many, many wild Mallards.

Suave Domestic Mallard Duclair Bibbed Odd Duck Postcard

While photographing summer blossoms in the backyard, I turned around and saw this orange beetle staring at me as it clutched at the topmost leaf of the obedient plant. It was an opportunity I could not pass up! Soldier Beetles are beneficial insects, pollinating flowers as they sup on nectar, and eating pests like aphids.

A Magnificent Bald Eagle Flies Free Postcard

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.

Need a birdie for your round of golf? You're guaranteed one--in a manner of speaking--with this wildlife-themed putter head cover, which features a female Northern Harrier, a year-round predator bird in Metro Vancouver!

An unexpectedly close encounter with a female Northern Harrier while walking the paths of the local wildlife area in early Spring 2017. This beautiful, owl-faced bird of prey, so often seen soaring the skies, was hunkered down in the marshes -- probably waiting out her next meal, a duck who had gone to ground.

My first encounter with the dapper little Bonaparte's Gull in breeding plumage.
