Calgary Alberta Bald Eagle Up Close & Personal!

Wildlife & nature photography can be hazardous to your health! Was a little too close to this male bald eagle eagle in Calgary's Fish Creek provincial park when he decided to let me know...

He scared off 5 crows, then banked and came in low at me! I got off about 6 good in focus photos of him before I ran for cover and kept going just like those pesky crows!

A Still Chickadee.

Probably 50% of my nature hikes I see these little birds and have to photograph them!

I have plenty of chickadee photos, but here is a more recent shot taken deep in the woods.

Wood Duck In-Flight Picture.

This male wood duck was captured in flight with fall colours for a background. Great evening light helped produce these and of course the leaves of late September.

This photograph of a northern hawk owl just about to make a kill on a mouse.

Lots of wildlife can be seen in the valley, this shaggy looking coyote was spotted as well as moose, mountain sheep and host of others. Keep an eye out for bears and cougars too.

Male Kestrel Photographed while Having a Rest On A Fence.

I love these little falcons, and the male kestrel is very colourful as can be seen here.

This photograph was taken on an overcast day. I noticed this bird of prey moving along the fence posts in search of mice. He stopped long enough to get his portrait taken.

Barred Owl Hidden Deep In The Forest.

About 75 yards in from the forests edge, this large owl was spotted. His dark eyes looked menacing. Photographed on bright sunny day in March.

I love trying to find and photograph owls and have added a few more mug shots below.
