The Three Sisters (Faith, Hope, Charity) can be seen from all over Canmore, Alberta and my favorite spot happens to be less than a 10 minute walk. In the Summer time, the bow flats conservation area is the perfect location for a reflections landscape! There is just enough water to fill in Fisherman's Creek, with little movement in the stream which adds a nice stillness to photos... as long as people aren't playing in the water, which happens a lot more frequently now that the area has grown significantly.

ITAP - Florida Scrubjay. It was almost our state song bird for Florida this year but the state senate shot it down.

A new least terns family takes refuge from the sun on a hot Summer's day in Southwest Florida. One of the chicks really seemed to be enjoying the feathers and protection, while the other chick was feeling a little more adventurous. Fort Myers, FL | May 27, 2020

Mountains, Marshes, and Milestones: My Hiking History This blog post shares my journey from hiking the breathtaking trails of Alberta’s Canadian Rockies to exploring and volunteering on the nature trails of Southwest Florida. Along the way, I discovered a deeper appreciation for wildlife, trail design, and the unique beauty found in both mountain peaks and marshlands. https://www.measephotography.com/blogs/daily-observation/how-hiking-led-me-to-photography

Rosy Wings - A roseate spoonbill lifts gracefully into flight, scanning the wetlands for food to bring back to its nest. The sky that day was a flat white, hazy overcast that offered little light to work with. At the time, I remember feeling frustrated by the absence of blue skies and golden sunlight. But years later, while revisiting my collection of spoonbill images, I stumbled upon this 2019 shot and saw it with fresh eyes. What once felt like a limitation now lends the image a quiet, almost ethereal mood.

Two Eastern Screech owlets take a peek out from the nest to survey the area around them. Eastern Screech-Owls are active at night and are far more often heard than seen. Most bird watchers know this species only from its trilling or whinnying song.

Shortly after Barred owl chicks start peeking outside of the nest, they get comfortable moving around the closest branches they have access to. This little chick was adventurous and curious to its surroundings. I was able to get close up to this one on multiple occasions during the seasons I followed this family. I was fortunate enough to see this one fledge and make it to adulthood!

Master Diver - Osprey are truly the masters of diving and catching fish... The morning started out pretty active, there was an average of four or five Osprey usually at a time circling in the air. The winds were perfect this morning so that they were flying towards us when diving, with the light and wind at our backs. The Osprey really put a show, with over 50 dives in less than 2 hours. Their catch rate that morning was about 20% through the breaking waves, changing tide, and heavy winds.

The first hour of life for a hatchling is quite the struggle. Within half an hour of hatching, this snowy plover hatchling was already stumbling around. Parents will call and encourage newborns to walk small distances at a time with many rest breaks. After a couple of rest breaks, the adult snow plover came back to provide protection and comfort.
