I’m excited to be giving a talk on nature photography for Alberta Wilderness Association next month. If you’re in the #yyc area come check it out!

The world of #insects is cool, and the diversity of these animals is amazing. The more you learn about these little creatures, the less weird and alien they become #WorldWildlifeDay

When you think of #wildlife do you think of #butterflies ? I sure do. These insects are cool, beautiful, and important. You don’t need to be dweeby nerd with a butterfly net to enjoy them either- anyone can get into butterflies #WorldWildlifeDay

A selection of #mammals for #WorldWildlifeDay Mammals, especially big ones, are probably what most people imagine of when they think of #wildlife As mammals ourselves, it’s natural that we’re drawn to these expressive and intelligent creatures

Some #birds for #WorldWildlifeDay Birds are obviously one of my favourite animal groups. Widespread and diverse, these living dinosaurs are enjoyable to find, watch, and share with others

Finally went to see the Cassin’s Finch of Forest Heights Park #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdsofedmonton #yeg #edmonton #nature #nature photography

Not highlighted in the article, but the Pacific Golden Plover I spotted in northwestern Alberta got a little mention in the Alberta bird record report. Not the first time it’s been seen in the province, but still neat

Reminder: this little thing is a dinosaur #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography #birdsaredinosaurs #yeg #alberta #edmonton

Spent the morning exploring both ends of Whitemud Park in the #yeg river valley and managed to get a sightings of two of our most sought-after resident species for the #gbbc2024 #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #alberta #edmonton

Northern Flicker I spotted in #yeg for the #gbbc2024 I’ve seen this individual before and to me like it has some red-shafted genes, as the throat is grey and mustache has flecks of red amid the black #birdwatching #birdphotography #alberta #edmonton #nature

Couple of piney winter finches for the #GBBC2024 so far: Pine Siskin and Pine Grosbeak #birdphotography #birdwatching #nature #nature photography #yeg #alberta #edmonton

I didn’t see any owls on #superbowlsunday despite trying hard to find some Short-eared near sundown, so here’s a Great Horned from a few days ago #birding #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlife photography #yeg #alberta

Pine Siskin- a buzzy little finch #yeg #birding #birdwatching #edmonton #nature #birdphotography #nature photography

I’ll probably never earn this title, but it’s something to aspire for. Also ironically fitting spot for some bird poop

This is why I always stop to take a quick look at every hole in an old dead tree I pass by #owl #birdwatching #birdsofalberta #edmonton #yeg #nature #yeg photographer
