I'm going through my photos from Costa Rica and I am beyond grateful that our trip exceeded our hopes in terms of the amount of biodiversity we would experience. I have SO many photos of birds, iguanas, monkeys, sloths, and even an anteater, and we saw many other things I couldn't catch with my camera.

It will take some time to choose and edit the good ones. I'm just sharing this one right now because it has turned out to be my unexpected favourite (I think?). Muchas gracias to Henry at Pérez.oso tours for helping to make our trip better than we could have imagined.

I had to look this one up...it's a new one for me. Horned Grebe at the Marina, May 9th. Those red eyes are stunning! (best viewed full screen)

You know spring migration is on because I have 1000 photos to go through from the last few days...

The herons were abundant this past weekend. I have never seen so many in one day. We saw at least 6 on Saturday.

I saw a short eared owl this weekend...so small and fluffy! It was REALLY windy so its feathers were blowing around and it often had its eyes closed. It just sat for a few minutes before it took off hunting again.

I went for a quick drive up the Harstone today after work. It feels so good to see birds returning, even though it feels like spring is taking FOR-EVER to get here. Today I saw a Merlin which reminded me of this photo. I know this more minimalist style isn't for everyone but it's one of my favourites. I didn't have my camera but I'm going to start bringing it with me and get out after work when I can. Time to load the car up with all my gear and get out there!

I love watching Merlins. Bolder than Kestrels, this female and her mate often sat near the road, not bothered by my presence. They seemed to be eating dragonflies and other insects. This close-up is one of my favourites! 4 standard print sizes are available: 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14. The smaller

My friend Rachel sent me this picture after she put up the raccoon…the last of 3 prints to finish her bedroom photos. I’m always honoured to see my work up in someone’s home.
Thanks Rachel for sending this ❤️
