Great Grey Owlets 🦉🌲

Some moments in the wild are given to you.

Others make you work for every second of them.

Finding these Great Grey Owlets in their awkward, gangly teenage stage was one of those unforgettable adventures.

At just three and a half months old, they had already traded the safety of the nest for the freedom of the forest. Their wings were strong, their movements quick, and they could vanish between the trees almost as if the forest itself had swallowed them.

So we searched.

And searched.

For nearly five hours, we wandered through the woods, following every possible clue, climbing over uneven ground and covering more than 12 km. The forest seemed endless, and with every passing hour, the light grew softer and our bodies grew heavier.

But none of us wanted to give up.

Then, just when the day was beginning to fade, a pair of sharp eyes caught something the rest of us had missed.

There they were.

For a moment, all the exhaustion disappeared.

Two young Great Grey Owls, perched quietly in the forest, their facial discs only beginning to take shape. They were awkward, curious, and not quite the majestic adults they would someday become—but to us, they were absolutely beautiful.

It was a first encounter for every one of us, and somehow, that made the moment even more meaningful.

Behind those few precious glimpses were hours of walking, countless steps, aching muscles, patient searching, teamwork, and the unwavering determination of a group of people who simply refused to stop looking.

Sometimes, wildlife photography isn’t about the perfect photograph.

Sometimes, it’s about the journey, the people beside you, the anticipation, and that unforgettable moment when the wild finally reveals its secret. ❤️

Would I do it all again?

In a heartbeat. 😂🦉

Because apparently, this is what happens when you’re truly…

OWL OBSESSED. 🤪🦉❤️

Kudos to Dinnerwithbearsblog and Crystal Blue for making this incredible adventure possible. ❤️🦉

🐍 Rattlesnakes 🐍

I’m not a big fan of snakes. But every time I see one, it still gives me goosebumps!

I came across two rattlesnakes in two different locations at Grasslands National Park. The first was a female rattlesnake, l saw she crawled into the ground and curled tightly in a hole, tried to keep a low profile.

The second was a beautiful golden-colored male who had somehow wandered into a parking lot—definitely an unexpected trespasser! 😄

I may not be a snake person, but encounters like these always remind me how wild and fascinating the prairie can be.

This guy almost gave me a heart attack! 😂

I was driving down a quiet grassland road when, all of a sudden, he came running out of nowhere and stopped right in front of my car. And I had never seen this kind of chicken before!

He ran around my car like he had just encountered a monster. I had to jump out and check where he had gone. While he was running around like a maniac, I managed to snap a couple of shots—and, of course, made sure he was safely out of my way.

After I got back into the car, I checked the images. The first thing that popped into my mind was:

“This guy seriously needs a haircut!” 😂😂

Sometimes wildlife photography comes with a little surprise… and a lot of laughter!

This was once a real “meme bird” for me—always difficult to find back home in BC, let alone photograph! During this year spring migration at Point Pelee National Park, everything finally came together and I got a clear shot of this beautiful little sparrow.

Such an elegant little bird, from its silky plumage and sleek crest to that perfect black mask and colorful wax-like wing tips. Nature truly knows how to dress in style!

Black-throated Green Warbler

I know fall migration is already underway, but I’m still way behind on editing photos from spring migration and my summer road trip.

And yet, I still can’t resist heading outside for fall migration! 🍂🐦

I hope you guys keep striking out, discovering new birds, and enjoying your time in nature. Happy birding! ❤️
