Far easier to distinguish than the Tundra Swan and Trumpeter Swan by virtue of its facial knob and bright orange bill, a Mute Swan looks into my lens as it leisurely plies the waters of Lost Lagoon at Stanley Park.

Stunning Mute Swan Gliding by on the Lake  Photo Print

An early morning walk brings us unexpectedly face to face with the normally distant and hard to photograph Killdeer. This is the mother-to-be.

Beautiful Touching Moment Between Wood Ducks Photo Print

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.

A Cute and Precocious Mallard Duckling Photo Print

I had the proverbial ringside seat when a flock of 100+ Sanderlings foraging calmly on the shoreline a dozen feet away from me suddenly decided to take to the skies, and circle the shore just above the water several times.

Sanderlings Take Flight in the Winter Skies Photo Print

Just two feet away from me on a log, and surrounded by Wood Ducks, Mallards, Lesser Scaups, and American Coots was this Great Blue Heron, trying to catch a few winks in the sun. Blue Herons are one of the most commonly seen and distinctive birds in Metro Vancouver, frequenting marshes as well as ditches by freeways and highways.

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen or dining room with this floral-themed serving tray! 

These purple Cineraria flowers provide a dazzling (and welcome) burst of color for early spring gardens. Although these African natives and members of the daisy family are self-seeding perennials, I call them "Goldilocks flowers", because they require a very specific amount of rain, sunshine, and temperature to thrive.

Elegant Bedewed Orange Double Flowered Daylilies Jigsaw Puzzle

Eastern Kingbirds are welcome and familiar sighted during Metro Vancouver summers. Smartly dressed in black and white and sporting a patrician (some might say, an imperious) air about themselves, I can usually find these feathered insectivores roosting on their favorite trees and bushes close to the walking trails at Coquitlam's Colony Farm Regional Park. My subject here took the cake for boldness, hopping from branch to branch and edging closer and closer to my lens. I could not have asked for a better subject!

Blue Jays may be one of North America's most iconic bird species, but they are rarely found on the West Coast. However, this one has discovered that Ladner Harbor Park in beautiful British Columbia is a great place to hang out and avoid the nasty snowfalls of the east. S/he's been "resident" in this forest since early November 2020 and grants an audience to whomever is willing to shell out a handout of peanuts first. Photographed in late March 2021.
