Wet Meadow Eclipse
The moon approaches totality over the wet meadow during the full lunar eclipse of January 2019. The -35°C wind chill was an added bonus.
Bittern Surprise
A very rare surprise: a migrating American bittern attempts to hide in plain sight by standing tall and straight. It’s a very effective camouflage when they’re amongst the reeds, here not so much. This is only the second bittern that I’ve ever seen on the Island.
Droop Wing I & II
A great blue heron droops its wings to cool off on an unseasonably hot October day.
October Juvenile
A juvenile black-crowned night heron perches in a tree on Doughnut Island. I haven’t seen night herons for a while now, it’s surprising to see juveniles still here.
Bumps on a Log III
A bale of ten turtles bask together in the low October light off of Doughnut Island. They’ve broken the unofficial record of six turtles in 2012 and five turtles in 2011.

When The Levee Breaks II
High winds push waves right over the armour stone in front of Bayview Ave., sending spray all the way back to the houses.
Whiteout
Ferry Ongiara makes her way across the harbour with the winds gusting to 90Km/h. By the time she landed at Ward’s, winds were gusting over 100Km/h, forcing her to stay Island-side for over an hour until the winds subsided enough for a bumpy journey back to the city.
