I was told by a good friend that there was an injured Eagle up in Fortune Channel! So I gathered my gear, included capturing gear, and headed out. …
FEATHERED MISADVENTURES
Wayne has found a new bear! Please stop by his blog to take a look at his fabulous wildlife photos. Wayne lives in Tofino, British Columbia.
This bear was eating lunch when I spotted him. I’m not sure what he had found but it must have been tasty because he was quite engrossed.
I was glad to see him head to the forest once he saw me.
Happy Monday, happy week.
Amid all the worries and terrors of this world, it’s important to remember that there are many beauties to love and protect. Here are just a few from my archive.
Happy Tuesday.
… you were able to embrace your inner two (but not your inner tube).
Regardless of all the twos, a picture of a bear pair seems appropriate.
Happy non-twos day. 😉
This amazing photo was taken by Vancouver photographer Martin Gregus in preparation for his portfolio submission to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
Gregus won the “rising star” portion of the competition for young photographers aged 18-26; he spent an entire summer using a drone to photograph the bears from a distance so that he wouldn’t interfere with them. Given how endangered and precious the polar bears are, his non-intrusive photos are very important.

I took a long walk today along one of the shores of Great Slave Lake. There was a very fresh breeze blowing and it was a comfortable temperature, but I could see the autumn weather on the lake’s horizon.
And there was something very fall-like in the air; the smell of the wind, the changes in the foliage, the angle of the sun.
When I came across a couple of very fresh black bear footprints, I decided to walk efficiently back to my truck – I didn’t stop to take a photo of them.
Autumn is coming, but if the bears are still about we may have a while to go yet.

Happy Tuesday.
I ran into a friend who drives Bear Watching boats the other day. He was in a hurry as he had a boat load waiting for him so I couldn’t chat too much…
STAND UP
An alarming post from Wayne at Tofino Photography. The bears around his area of Vancouver Island aren’t getting enough to eat and as a result are not giving birth to any cubs. Please stop by his blog to read about his concerns.
The bears are awake!
A little sleepy and slow, but in decent shape after a very long winter.
