I recently had the privilege to witness a black bear nursing her cub in the wild on Vancouver Island. She knew that I was there but because I kept a safe and respectful distance from them, she felt comfortable to feed her cub. Note that I used a telephoto lens and the photo is cropped. Respect wildlife, keep a safe distance! #photography #wildlife #nature #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #VancouverIslandWildlife

Spot the Canada geese! What gave their presence away is their constant honking. #BirdsOfMastodon #birds #wildlife #photography #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #VancouverIslandWildlife

This time of year is the best time to photograph black bears and grizzlies. They are easy to locate as they gather near rivers and creek where salmon spawn. Here's a female bear with her cub looking for a fatty fish. #wildlife #nature #photography #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #VancouverIslandWildlife #bears
