Loon Rescue

My friend Mike Ritcey received a phone call from the animal hospital at the Kamloops Wildlife Park asking if he could go out and have a look for a loon at Lac le Jeune. It had been reported to them that the loon had become entangled in fishing line and was not doing that well. Mike needed someone with a boat so he called me and off we went. We quickly located the loon on the shore and she (best guess) was quite entangled, obviously not able to fish or eat. We netted her and into a dog crate for the trip to the animal hospital.

Spring is coming I am looking at snow falling outside my window and thinking about spring and the amazing number of birds that will soon start returning to our area to nest and breed. Crazy About Loons Photo Tours is excited to commence our 9th season. I have been somewhat negligent in my marketing, the reality being that referrals and returning customers keep me as busy as I want to be. I am always happy to introduce new people to our amazing area though so please visit our website www.crazyaboutloons.com or email me via the contact page on the website if you would like more information. A few pictures of the Short Eared Owls that have been visiting us this winter.

Catching Up

I have been ignoring the bird side of my photography a little bit as life has been busy.

Still lots of birds around and we are now seeing some of the migrations of shorebirds, pelicans, cranes and others. Here are a few shots of Semipalmated Sandpiper and Pectoral Sandpipers that are passing through our area.
