Moose at the window284 viewsThis young moose took little notice of me and my camera as he stripped the leaves from every bush around the house. Here the camera is about 15 cm from his nose. There is a window between us.

Moose mom and baby296 viewsThis pair arrived in the early summer. The young one is just weeks old, maybe a couple of months. Interesting that they are in lock-step with each other.

Horses274 viewsOk, so they're domestic, but they live among coyotes and cougars. The composition was striking

Grouse246 viewsAlso known as prairie chickens, these birds are not smart. Two have died in head-on collisions with my house. They are startling when flushed from hiding places. The males can be heard drumming up a mate. They make the thump, thump, thump sound by beating their wings against their chest.

Great Gray Owl325 viewsThis Great Gray Owl is patient hunter and an impressive bird both in flight and perched in a tree. When he turned his angry scowl on me, I decided I better leave him to pursue his lunch. The Gray is the largest of the owls. Its wing span can exceed 150 cm.
