Atlantic Puffin🪶
It’s the time of year for these adorable creatures to start arriving on our coastline in the UK! This will be the first year in many I can’t photograph these cuties as they don’t exist in in Canada!
This is a photo taken on Isle of Lunga, a few years ago!

Red-winged Blackbird🐦⬛
I waited a while for this striking bird to land on a perch which placed the towering Nch’kay (Atwell Peak) of the Garibaldi range right in the background of the shot. It turned out beautifully!

Red-winged Blackbird🐦⬛
Perhaps the most epic song I’ve heard yet in Canada. These birds belt out a right tune! Here a bird is seen showing off to a nearby female flanked by the mighty Chief🏞️

Bald Eagle Fractus☁️
This bald eagle is abit of an oddity with its bright yellow bill, but brown head feathers. It makes the bird look a little bit like a white-tailed eagle. Of course, on the Pacific Northwest this isn’t the case!
The clouds are known as fractus.

Porteau Cove🏝️
Spent the morning at Porteau Cove watching birds and checking out the marine life! The water of the sound is so clear that you can see the sea lions swimming in the water below! Super cool. Two hours with the dolphins made the day!🐬

Hanging by a Thread 🧵
I'm not certain on the species, so if you're into bugs let me know, but they were all over Bowen Island. This one caught my eye as it dangled in a beam of light.

Northern Harrier🦅
Here is a #lifer for me! Taken at Reifel Bird Sanctuary last week. I’ve always been fond of harriers, I love the way they course the marsh looking for prey.

February Photo Pick📷
Here’s my top four photos from February! An industrial environmental portrait of a glaucous-winged gull; Two Pacific-white sided dolphins in the Howe Sound; A stunning Anna’s Humming bird; and an epic sunset over Garibaldi.

Moss Forest🌿
This was an amazing thing to see, a fallen log covered in this splendid moss. These here are the capsule tipped sporophytes of the moss which contain spores for reproduction.
I'm no moss expert but I think this is a moss in the Hypnum genus.

It’s not that difficult but how awesome is the camouflage?! This was a sighting we had at #reifelbirdsanctuary in Delta on what turned out to be a very wet day!
