Although this fierce-looking falcon looks very much like a Peregrine, it's actually a Gyr-Saker hybrid falcon. Falconers crossbreed both in captivity with the hopes of producing a hybrid with the best traits of both species: in this case, the stamina of the large Gyrfalcon with the speed of the Saker falcon.

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  From fall through spring, one can see many different species of raptors in Metro Vancouver. I encountered this magnificent creature, an adult Peregrine Falcon, while driving through Ladner in the spring of 2015--sitting on its favourite branch, some 40-50 feet in a tree on a farm--was a truly breathtaking sight. This scion of the skies and I traded curious glances for a few precious moments, but I am certain my sense of wonder was greater.

Add a little character to the holidays or holiday office party with this festive tie. 

Poinsettias are most often associated with Christmas, and, surrounded here by cream colored Yellow Snow poinsettias, the speckled leaves of this particular variety -- known as Shimmer Surprise Poinsettia -- add an even more festive touch to year-end holidays as a popular centerpiece.

Festive Red White Floral Poinsettia Flowers Neck Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  About 4 of the 10 Horned Grebes we spotted at Blackie Spit were swimming and diving uncharacteristically close to the main walking path of Crescent Beach -- close for Horned Grebes, that is (about 20-30 feet away). The fishing was obviously quite good near shore. My closest encounter with these birds. They are exhibiting neither the flamboyant yellow horns nor red-and-black breeding plumage during this season, but those red eyes and dapper tux are nonetheless mesmerizing!

Blue roses do not exist in nature. White roses are either dyed blue, or genetically manipulated to produce that rare hue. They are thus a symbol of nobility and regalness.

This was a Christmas Day filled with plenty of birds in the backyard -- including this rather introspective Black-Capped Chickadee looking skyward on the pear tree. Sunny skies and chilly temps made my puffed up and sleepy feathered friends reluctant to stir from their perches, and that led to a few opportunities for closeups of birds I normally find difficult to get stills of.

Add a touch of nature and whimsy to your walls with this wildlife-themed decal! Perfect for bird lovers!

Being small and drab-colored doesn't stop the diminutive Bushtit from drawing attention to itself with its twittering and high energy antics. This fellow caught my attention at Centennial Beach, after a (more or less) fruitless day of birding. Heard long before they are seen, these highly active songbirds often flock together in large groups, calling to each other often while they search for food.

The start of the growing season means the return of the diminutive but feisty Rufous Hummingbirds to Metro Vancouver. From March through August, their presence means increased competition for nectar feeders and flowers for the resident Anna's hummingbirds. This fellow was one of five Rufouses to visit the Richmond Nature Park regularly on an early spring day. We witnessed extremely vocal and physical territorial disputes (which were, rather comically, inversely proportional to the size of the combatants). Photographed on April 4, 2016.
