As you may recall from earlier posts, it was quite a journey to get to Churchill, Manitoba, just below the Arctic Circle. It took two days to fly there, one day to Winnipeg (Manitoba’s Capital) and another day to Churchill (the train from Winnipeg takes 2 days!) and the same to return. When I got […]

An image of a group of birds all heading in the same direction – hunting for sustenance in the Far North during their breeding season. But, can you spot the “odd man out”? I am not sure why, but I am always thrilled when I can get a shot with more than one species together […]

The Short-billed Dowitcher (Linodromus griseus) has a way with the girls during breeding season. He flies thousands of miles north, to the Tundra and puts on his breeding plumage. The plumage is highlighted by a bright orange (rufous) foreneck and breast. This is irresistible to the females – the purpose of the exercise. Then after […]
