From a quick outing tonight, some good light and a summer buck deer with velvet antlers at sunset.
Other beasts seen include a male oriole feeding two female fledglings, kingbirds, a mule deer mom looking after her two fawns, an american goldfinch and a kestrel hoisting a young starling off and being chased by the family.

Winter Deer Photographed

Since winter is officially over (hard to tell with all the snow on the ground), it is spring here in Alberta right? I decided to post a few of the deer I photographed over the past winter including a few good size bucks. I have about 150+ images of deer from this winter, here are just a few.

Goldeneye Ducks, Deer & Spring Beavers.

Only a few days ago it was -20c, the next day +10c and again today was well above freezing, spring is in the air! What a beautiful day to be out, and I was out this afternoon soaking up the sun and photographing some of the wildlife.

Cold Mallard Ducks - Inglewood Bird Sanctuary

I made a quick visit to Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in Calgary Alberta this afternoon, It felt cold, and it was at -20 c with the wind, and the wind showed up. The male mallard duck photographed on the left was just coming in for a landing on the main ponds small patch of open water, and looked like he might need a little de-icing. His bill noticeably had ice forming on it along with his head and chest area…

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.

Female Goldeneye Duck

A very calm female goldeneye duck did not seem to be bothered by my presence at all and let me get in close for a photograph.
The evening light was just right!
