First Sighting of the Year
I’m just back from my first foray into the field for this year and what a successful trip it was. I got to see (but not photograph) my first ever red throated loons as well as my first glimpse of grizzly & black bears for the year. This mother grizzly bear & her two yearling [...]
Columbian Black-tailed Deer
Columbian Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileau hemionus columbianus) are a smaller sub-species of the Common Mule Deer and are common throughout the central and southern BC coast regon. They have a close cousin, the Sitka Black-tailed Deer, that resides on the northern BC coast and was introduced on to Haida Guaii, were, due to no natural predator, [...]
Something New
Just a mid-spring update on recent additions to the website. The 2013 calendar has now arrived from the printers, (ABC Printing, here in the Comox Valley) and is available from just $20 here: 2013 Calendar.

Little Brown Myotis
The Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus), sometimes called ‘Little Brown Myotis’, is one of 19 species of bat across Canada and was once fairly common throughout BC and Canada, but a recent outbreak of ‘white nose syndrome’, a killer fungal growth, has lead to them recently being declared an ‘endangered species’. It can weigh up [...]
Steller Sea-Lion
Steller Sea-Lions range along most of the BC coast and are usually much lighter or blonder than their cousins the California Sea-Lion. Males can weigh in the region of 1,000 kg, whilst females are considerably less than half that! They love to haul out on rocks and ‘sunbathe’ adjacent to the shoreline and can be [...]
Sapsucker!
The Red-breasted Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber) has always been a name that has confused me for this bird as red-headed seems more appropriate. This guy landed on an alder tree close to me in a local park recently and started drilling away at the tree. I slowly lifted my camera and to my amazement it just [...]
Silver Cub
This little silver grizzly bear cub was spotted along the BC coast late last spring accompanied by his mother and a sibling cub. Hopefully they have all made it safely through the winter and I will get to see them again later this year when I return to the same area. They will have probably [...]
Tofino Sunset
Taken in April last year this sunset was a beautiful end to a few days in Tofino on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Tofino is a great place for getting out and seeing grey and humpback whales, sea otters, black bears and if you’re really lucky wolves making their way along the intertidal zone [...]
Spirit Bear
I got this picture of a spirit bear mom and her yearling black cub in the fall last year in the Great Bear Rainforest on BC’s northern coast. I couldn’t believe it when I heard that some people claimed this spirit bear wasn’t ‘white’ enough and asked to be taken to find other less dark [...]
