2016 wildlife images – some of my favourites from the past year
I love photographing wildlife, whether it’s a frigid morning, a warm afternoon, blizzards, or whatever, you will usually find me with a smile on my face. I put this gallery together of my favourite images from those times over the past year.
The 2016 highlights started with snowy owls on the prairie, in March was a wolf pack’s takedown of an elk in Banff and eagles migrating through the high meadows east of Crowsnest Pass, my first visit to Yellowstone National Park in May was wonderful, summer saw the bears in buffalo berry patches throughout Kananaskis, Banff and Jasper, birds migrating along the Bow River in early fall provided some great opportunities and the year wound down, as it started, with snowy owls east of Calgary.
Throughout the year I spend an enormous amount of time hanging out with the great gray owls who have allowed me to photograph them for several years. Owls, any species, are absolute favourite birds for me. I feel exceptionally lucky that I continue to be able to watch them, learn more about them and just simply enjoy being in their presence.
You can click on any of these three images to open the 2016 wildlife gallery in a new window.

Great selection! The owls astound me every time. I was really intrigued by the wolf pack and the elk–did you see it through til the end?
You have such a true calling/gift and such commitment to your art and wildlife and nature, in general! I am very happy every time I view your photographs, and look forward to this year’s captures.

It is great to see these outstanding photos again, especially when I remember them. Though it is a bit grisely, and not a perfect composition, the one with the elk and wolves holds the most impact for me.Just because it is not something that most visitors to the Park would ever see.The featured photo of backlit sow and cubs is beautiful.
