Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

Yellowknife could be named City of the Soaring Raven...in an area so challenging for wildlife, the Raven seems to thrive.

This was by far the closest I've been to a Gadwall, normally quite shy. Even some pinkish colouring appears on the head. Some shoreline brambles helped provide a blind. Thanks to the City of Richmond for doing a phenomenal job in protecting wildlife wetlands.

Thanks to the City of Richmond, Ducks Unlimited Canada and Environment Canada. A little snip-it from the billboard at the Terra Nova Natural Area: 35 acre site, once farmland, has lain fallow for 20 years. Goal to preserve old field and grassland habitat and providing a diversity of plantings for the benefit of many bird species. 80 species use the habitats with the Terra Nova Park, adjacent to the Sturgeon Banks.
