Bald Eagle Trying To Catch A Duck Dinner

I watched and photographed an immature bald eagle make a VERY lame attempt to catch a goldeneye duck on some open water on the bow river late this afternoon. These pictures are heavily cropped as the action was a long way off but I though I should post them anyway.

Great Horned Owl Photographed

You don’t have to go far to find wildlife in this city, this great horned owl was photographed within the city limits of Calgary, not bad eh? Not only did this owl sit for few seconds for a photo, myself and friend Bayar saw plenty of deer, three coyotes and lots of ducks! Hope you all are not sick of owl photos (if thats possible!) as I seem to keep finding them lately.

Bucks & Ducks in Morning Light

Perfect morning for photography in Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, clear skies and a few good looks at a large buck deer. In this kind of light you just have to photograph EVERYTHING including a few ducks spotted on the main pond.

Eagles & Coyotes Hunting Geese

I headed down to the Bow river here in Calgary in hopes of photographing the many bald eagles that cruise the open water for ducks this time of year. The ducks are are plentiful in the small patches of open water, 100’s, if not 1000’s can be seen in these patches of open river. Within [...]

Alberta’s Great Gray Owls

Yes, more photos of the wild great gray owls that roam the forests of Alberta Canada! These are not fresh photos, but are a few weeks old from other owl outings, some posted here on the site.
A friend of mine, and fellow photog David Lilly went looking for the owls again today, second time in a row and we got skunked, again! Nothing, not even a glimpse of the gray ghost. Oh well, better luck next time.

Inglewood Bald Eagles

I dropped by Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and noticed on the main pond there are 100’s of ducks, I also noticed that something has been eating them! On the ice over the pond are a few explosions of duck feathers! Now it could be coyotes, ravens or magpies eating the ducks, or maybe eagles.

Another Great Horned Owl

This great horned owl was photographed last Sunday just south of Calgary Alberta. I was actually looking for rough-legged hawks and came across this owl hiding in a tree.

Calgary Zoo

A visit to the Calgary Zoo on Saturday, camera in hand I decided to take a few photos. This was my second visit to the Calgary Zoo and I was delighted to see this Tigers up and roaming around. Not easy taking pictures through the wire fence, but I did get a couple clean shots.

Calgary Cityscape/Landscape

This cityscape photo of Calgary was taken tonight, the sky was awesome so I drove to a great location that over looks the city and the Bow River. This is the north side of the city and the Bow River is between my camera’s lens and the city of Calgary.

Great Horned Owls, Calgary Alberta

This is my fourth pair of great horned owls in less than three months, always fun to find and always difficult to photograph. These owls are always hiding in thick cover.

Calgary Coyotes

Right next door to our site in the southern end of Calgary are these two Coyotes. Both the male and female coyotes are seen almost daily, the male is photographed below.
