Despite the many pots of butterfly bushes we have growing in the backyard, butterflies like this Western Tiger Swallowtail butterfly who stop to drink their nectar are still a rare occurrence (we even have a butterfly motel!) This is an angled top-down shot of one. The visiting Rufous hummingbirds have also given these bushes a number of pokes.

Swallowtail Butterfly on the Butterfly Bush Postcard

Her cobalt blue mascara never runs! Quiet as her mate is noisy, this female Eclectus Parrot surprised me even further by choosing to perch uncharacteristically close to my lens.

Cute Sanderling Sandpiper Wanders Wintry Shores Postcard

The rapture of a raptor in flight! I wanted to have a closeup of this Bald Eagle roosting at the top a dead birch tree ... but it decided, at 30 feet away, that it was time to go. This was the most dramatic part of its takeoff.

A Bald Eagle Takes to the Sky Postcard

The African Superb Starling is such a beautiful rainbow of colours. When it makes an entrance, it really makes an entrance; it's no shrinking violet. Rare, though, is the moment when it stays still long enough to get a photo of it, but got it I did, as it waited for its turn to bathe in the waterfall.

African Superb Starling Songbird Postcard

One of seven Black Oystercatchers we spotted on a chilly but sunny day at the Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty over the Great Backyard Bird Count 2018 (Feb 16-19) weekend. The clamming was good ... these shorebirds were hauling in clam after clam after clam! Photographed in South Delta, British Columbia, Canada, on the first day of the Great Backyard Bird Count 2018.

Stunning Black Oystercatcher Bird at the Beach Postcard

Bring on the birds of spring! A round, energetic ball of energy, this adult male Wilson's Warbler posed briefly on the grapevine with the white, bell-like flowers of the pieris japonica shrub in the background on a slightly overcast afternoon in mid-May 2018.

Cute Wilson's Warbler Songbird on the Grapevine Postcard

My second encounter with a male Mountain Bluebird. We are gifted, albeit very briefly, with the presence of these beautiful songbirds at the start of the spring season before they head to higher ground to breed. Those stunning cerulean colors stand out on a dreary landscape, even from a distance. When he wasn't busy diving for insects on the local beach, he was highpointing it on driftwood and stalks of dessicated tansy. Photographed at Boundary Bay Regional Park in early spring 2017.

Celebrate nature with these wildlife-themed sticky notes.

A White-Crowned Sparrow welcomes the day (and enchants its rapt listeners) with a simple but sweet song. As spring turns into summer, we see more and more of this beautiful songbird, who often forages solo, too.

Adorable Anna's Hummingbird on Berry Bush Photo Print

A young Anna's hummingbird taking five in the scarlet firethorn next to its pommes on an unseasonably prolonged cold snap. Unlike most other birds who frequent this bush in the fall and winter, he didn't seem to mind that I wrestled the window open (however softly I did it), and took a few shots of him next to the bunch of berries that's almost as big as he is. Photographed in mid-December 2016.

Beautiful Dunlin Sandpiper Goes Solo on the Beach Tote Bag

It's hard not to be amazed by such beauty! I am so used to seeing Dunlins in flocks of hundreds and thousands in their non-breeding/winter plumage, that to encounter a solitary member of this sandpiper species is a bit puzzling. S/he was in full breeding regalia, and in no particular hurry to fly north for the summer.

Sim, the WALKSWITHNATURE™ DUNLIN ON THE SHORE COLLECTION showcases a diverse range of wildlife- and outdoors- themed gift ideas to add character and personality to the spaces where you live, work, and play. Choose from an extensive range of home decor, office art, kitchen/dining, leisure, and personal organization items.

Keep notes, reminders, and more in this floral-themed journal.

They seem like brittle beauties, but these purple star-like flowers are surprisingly hardy, drought-resistance perennials, especially given their South African roots. Purple ice plants bloom throughout summer and make for colorful groundcover.

Beautiful Purple Iceplants Notebook

If you've been blessed with triplets, then this whimsical and heartwarming baby shower invitation postcard is for you! 

In a cute moment highly reminiscent of another bushtit family gathering from 2016, three young songbird fledglings roost together in the sun-dappled shade of the pear tree, while parents and helpers (older siblings) pick grubs from the leaves nearby, while keeping up a steady stream of conversation. My young subjects were only too willing to oblige for my lens. Photographed in late May 2020.

Add a touch of nature to your travels with this wildlife-themed luggage tag! 

As with many yellow summer birds on my watch list, I have been pursuing this beautiful warbler and prolific singer for quite some time. Two years ago, I heard his trademark witchety-witchety-witchety birdsong and have since gotten few and frequently shaded glimpses of his rakish black mask and bright yellow breast through local shrubs and bushes. This is the closest I have come to photographing him out in the open.
