Grey Seal pup near Cheticamp Harbour.
There were 15-20 pups in varying locations around Cheticamp, was a nice change to photographing moose.

Been having a lot of fun with the Grey Seals this winter in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia. One of my favorites is this one.

Most of these were taken with the Canon 300 2.8L IS II, some with the 2xTC III on a 5Dmk3.

Blue Eyed bull Moose in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. It seems this fella has been showing up at this particular spot for years. Just north of Cheticamp, Nova Scotia.

And os up I was this morning at 5:30 after seeing three of her litter playing around next door. I set up my tripod and lens at a spot near a trail with a good view and began shooting the little ones when I notice mother fox appeared out of trail about 15-20' from me. She gave me a steady gaze for about 30 seconds then turned and walked back to the tall grass. The injury is recent, perhaps from a little rough play with one of her kits..

Been a while and have been delinquent in posting to the blog. Living here in Cheticamp is proving to be quite thrilling! So may things to do and see, it's hard to not always have a camera in my hand. Sightings of moose and various wildlife are a regular occurrence here, with frequent trips into the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

On Cheticamp Island starting near the beach and going up the top near the cliffs, there's so much to take in from Cormorants, Guillemots, gulls and Razorbills. Soon the eagles will start showing up. On occasion you can also see whales.

More to come!!

Went to Wolfe Island on this morning, found one Snowy in the field. Even during inclement weather, opportunities present themselves...if only I make the effort and get out there, when I do...I most always get rewarded.

Common Redpolls

Went out to Wolfe Island on November 29 to look for Snowy owls without any luck, but did nicely with these Redpolls. Driving slowly on one of the smaller roads and seen a flock just on the other side of the fence. I pulled over, shut the engine off and rolled down the window "in case" and sure enough, I was rewarded by this pair.
