I am nature and wildlife photographer living in Nanaimo, BC Canada. I have just recently ( September, 2020) started making videos of things nature related including birds, mammals, insects and wildflowers. I have a special interest in pollinators and native plant gardening but enjoy photographing anything in the natural world.

In the fall beavers spend a lot of time eating as they prepare for winter. They have poor eyesight, but excellent senses of hearing and smell, so this one occasionally stops eating as it smells or hears something.

This is hilarious! I feel like the adult keeps pretending to look for the fish so it doesn’t have to deal with the impetuous youngster. Who knew the owlet would be so aggressive 😳
Yes, it was quite fun to watch and see this interaction. Watching wildlife is always full of surprises.
This is adorable! I love how you captured all levels of energy 🥰
Now we know who the boss is !
So true-I am always excited when I manage to capture this sort of interesting behaviour.
This little owlet is having a good time!❤
Awwwww... moist owlette!
So sweet! 🥰❤️
Excellent Linda!!
Thanks-I missed the bath but was happy with what I managed to capture.
This video makes me happy! Thanks for being such a nice friend to bees, Lynda, and for adding these nice scenes to TH-cam.
Amazing video Lynda! Thanks for sharing this! ❤️
Thanks Trisha-I loved watching the interactions between the parent and owlets.
How is it physically possible for those little balls of fluff to swim so fast?
Lynda I have walked all over Bowen and haven't seen these beauties...any suggestions?
Right now they are spending time at the river between the first waterfall and the bridge. Early morning or dusk are the best times to see them.
That's great Linda, some great footage and really nice images. What a great catch!!
Thanks Keith
Fascinating!
Thanks-I am going to email you in the next few days to catch up.
Wow - awesome stuff Lynda!😊
Such a very happy Bee, it made me happy too. Great video, from so many angles, easy to see nectar drinking apparatus, and in slow motion. Thank you Lynda. <3
Thanks-glad that you enjoyed it. She has been visiting me daily and I am wondering if she is nesting close by.
Fledglings look so innocent, don’t they? Maybe those ravens learned to use a human structure by observing barn owls!
That’s wonderful Lynda!!
Thanks Marcy-I watched turtles lay eggs last year, so it was nice to see some successful nests.
Enriching ❣️. Cattails, comments and fascinating photos 🙏🏽
Thanks-glad that you enjoyed it.
Beautiful 🐦
Thanks for watching.
Interesting the way the swan dips the cattail fluff in the water and then eat it in the water.
Yes, I thought that same thing. I wonder if it is just too dry to eat as is.
@@lyndastevens3479 I expect so. Great video. Thank you!
@@colleeneggertson2117You're welcome and thanks for watching.
Bravo 👏 You have captured so many wonderful scenes! Love the wasp digging👍
Yes, it was interesting to see the wasp moving rocks.
Wow! Wonderful capture 👍
Thanks again!
Very peaceful scene! Very graceful mouvements of their necks ! Really enjoyed watching your video 😊
Thank you-apparently this is not a commonly seen behaviour, so I was lucky to capture it.
Where in the park was this?^^ i was there today but didnt see any but i hope to soon 😊
They were in the ponds along the salmon channel. I have found that the best time to see otters there is in the fall, especially if there is fish in the ponds.
@@lyndastevens3479 thank you! I think I found the area today, I didn't see them there but I did see a family of 4 down by the waterfront today! ^^ Uploading a video now
@@djphlangeYes, I have seen that family at the waterfront too-they seem to be regulars there. I have posted two videos of otters at the waterfront and it is this family in both videos. I'll check out your video.
Well done Linda, I've been there about 7 times trying to find it but no luck so far. I will keep trying.
I have been checking the last few days and haven't seen the bittern again-I was very lucky this day that it was so active. Lately, this bird is not being very cooperative.
Excellent video Linda, brings back lots of memories of all the nights that I have spent over the years at Bowen photographing the Owls and their Owlets. I'm going to try some video this year.
Thanks Keith. I am finding that the video works well at Bowen since the owls are often not active until dusk and then the light is poor. The video seems handle the low light better than regular images and you can capture more action.
Beautiful owl. Nice video. Thank you for sharing. Greetings!!
Thanks-I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
So camouflaged. Wonderful video 🙏🏽
Thanks. I was lucky that it was quite active this day or I would never have seen it.
Oh wow Lynda! You captured him so amazingly! Love this so much! 🥰❤️
Thanks Trisha.
Such a stunning species 😊, love that beautiful red head 🥰, lovely video👏👏👏
Thanks-this is one of my favourite birds too.

GUTEN MORGEN GOEDE GOOD OWLS VIDEO ......... MATSU
Thank you.
There are two nesting pairs on our farm. Beautiful, haunting majestic bird.
It must be wonderful to have two pairs nesting. I am fortunate to have been able to watch this one pair for a few years now.
The barred owlet is like "Thanks Mom?! but what the heck do I do with this thing?! 🐍🦉😂 Great capture! Cheers, Declan
Thanks-glad that you enjoyed the show.
I’m starting to get tired of these winter days so yay!
I agree totally which is why I was so happy to see the midges.
What a beautiful bird! Great video Lynda!
Thanks. It didn't seem to mind me being there, which was a bonus.
🦦❤️
Thank you for watching.
A Haida Gwaii Steller’s jay?
It is a regular Steller's jay and they are common around here in the winter.
Ok good. I’m not missing out on Haida Gwaii Steller’s jays on the Island
Love the waving bit especially. ‘Hey Person who likes us ! ‘
Yes, it was fun to capture that.
2nd one watched for me. Very nice vid & some really nice photos.
Thank you-I'm glad that you enjoyed both shows.
Beauties. Great vid.
Lovely sights to behold. Thanks for this :) Where were they taken?
You're welcome-I am glad that you enjoyed the show. All the images were taken in and around Nanaimo, British Columbia.
Magnificent photos! Great captures.
Thanks-I'm glad that you enjoyed the show.
There is so much to see if we just look around as you do. You are a brilliant photographer.
Thanks Carol-I appreciate your comment. Nature photography certainly does make one more aware of all the little things that are around us every day.
Really beautiful!
Thank you-I'm glad that you enjoyed the show.
Wow, amazing video 👍❤️
Thank you-I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Lovely musical accompaniment. Meditative
Thanks-glad that you enjoyed it. It was treat to see the swans there-very unexpected.
A mother and her pups. They look relaxed and happy. Thx for sharing.
You're welcome-they certainly do look like they are having fun.
Cool! They are having so much fun!
It was fun to watch-it went on for about 15-20 minutes.
