Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. / Ovis canadensis canadensis. / Glacier National Park. / 18 July 2007. / Nikon D70s. In July of 2007, my family packed up and moved from central Florida to our new home in southcentral Alaska. We spent the entire month of July slowly driving our way across the North American continent, watching the landscape and ecosystems roll by and change around us. We spent several days at Glacier National Park in Montana. And this is where I came to love the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, one of the most regal, majestic, graceful and dignified animals I’ve ever encountered. There’s such a grace in those eyes, such a balance of both character and form. To briefly watch a bighorn watching you, before delicately sliding down a long, steep valley slope of loose rocks and gravel… Well, it just doesn’t get much better than that.

I traveled to visit my parents today, they have a lovely piece of property in the middle of nowhere, Florida. I was lamenting over the very overcast day, but decided to take the walk down to the lake with my camera anyway. And what should I find, to my surprise, a pair of Sandhill Cranes with a newly hatched little one! The chick was so very small, I’ve never seen a sandhill chick before and I was so surprised, seeing as they grow to be so large. I was thrilled! Sandhill Cranes are thought to be the oldest surviving bird species in the world. The Florida Sandhill (Grus canadensis pratensis), which is one of the non-migratory species, is severely threatened due to unregulated hunting in the past, and currently due to development and loss of habitat. Sandhill Cranes are huge birds, they stand at least 4 feet tall and have a wingspan of up to 7 feet. Sandhill cranes feed on a large assortment of grasses, roots, berries, and tubers, as well as insects, crayfish, frogs, snakes, and small mammals. They often make their distinct loud rattling kar-r-r-r-o-o-o call while in flight. This species of crane mates for life. I was so happy to see that these cranes have chosen a bit of space on my family’s property to call home. More Sandhill Family: More Photography: /

Sanguinaria Canadensis or more commonly known as Bloodroot. Woodland flower belonging to the Poppy family. It is short lived and is named for the red juice from it’s underground stem. Indians used these flowers medicinally and as dye, paint and insect repellent. This flower is about 1” across Top 10 in the For the Love of Jesus Group challenge “My Favorite Scripture” challenge, Flowers in Macro (very close macro) “Flowers in Macro With a Sentiment” Thanks so much!

Sanguinaria Canadensis or more commonly known as Bloodroot. Woodland flower belonging to the Poppy family. It is short lived and is named for the red juice from it’s underground stem. Indians used these flowers medicinally and as dye, paint and insect repellent. Found along the high banks of Sugar Creek in rural Milford Illinois in early April.
Taken at Mt Rainier National Park ~Mt Rainer Washington USA Gray Jays are associated with coniferous and coniferous-deciduous forests of the boreal and sub-alpine vegetative regions. They are most commonly found in spruce and fir woods (with occasional aspens or birch). Despite its association with humans, this jay does not live in towns or developments. It is exclusively a bird of remote forests. In fact, Gray Jays disappear as soon as a camp becomes a permanent settlement. Although the Gray Jay can fluff up its dense plumage and give the impression of large size, it is actually one of the smallest jays in the world, males weighing about 76 grams and females only about 68 grams. Both sexes typically have light gray underparts, medium-gray upperparts, and a partial black cap on the back of an otherwise white head. Birds on the Pacific coast of Washington and Oregon states have more extensive black on the head and noticeably darker backs with conspicuous white streaks. Individuals from the southern Rockies have black caps that fail to reach forward as far as the eye, giving that race a noticeably more white-headed appearance. Juvenile plumage (retained until August) is sooty gray all over, though slightly darker on the head.
Perisoreus canadensis is 11.5 inches (29 cm) long and has a wingspan of 18 inches (45 cm). Normal adult weight is 2.5 ounces (70 grams). Grey Jay close up…they are simply one of the most adorable little birds out there…so friendly yet they don’t like populated areas!

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is a native eastern North American wildflower. It truly is spring when this comes into bloom. The root of this plant has been used by the First Nations peoples for producing oranges, pinks and reds. Although plants are a natural alternative for dyestuffs, some are poisonous, so take precautions when handling all dyes. Photographed along the Humber River Valley trail, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

During a very warm afternoon, this Canada darner (Aeshna canadensis) preferred to rest in the shade of an alder-filled woodlot at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, BC. The low light levels made hand-held shots somewhat of a challenge. Canon Rebel XSi / Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM / 1/80, f/5.6, -1/3, ISO 800, 200mm, hand-held

They travel the tree tops with chickadees, kinglets and woodpeckers but stick to the tree trunks in search of hidden insects. These are longish billed, short tailed songbirds with short legs and a flat shaped body. They love the seed of spruce, pine and fir trees. / Their yank yank calls sound like tin horns . In close contact you will notice a pip pip , almost sounds like a small chipmunk. / Males have the black cap and stripe. Nesting tends to be in dead trees or old woodpecker nests and they can be very discerning about exactly the right location. /

The North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis), also known as the Northern River Otter or the Common Otter, is a semi-aquatic mammal that can weigh between 5 and 14 kg (11 and 30 lb). It is found throughout North America, inhabiting inland waterways and coastal areas. It ’s protected and insulated by a thick, water-repellent coat of fur. The color varies from light brown to black. The throat, chin, and lips are grayer than the rest of the body. The river otter, a member of the weasel family, is equally versatile in the water and on land. The otter establishes a burrow close to the water’s edge in river, lake, swamp, coastal shoreline, tidal flat, or estuary ecosystems. Their dens have many tunnel openings—one of which generally allows the otter to enter and exit the body of water. Female otters give birth in these underground burrows, producing litters of one to six young. This river otter hunts during the night and preys upon the species that are the most readily accessible. Fishes are a favored food among the otters, but they also consume various amphibians, turtles, and crayfish. The range of the North American river otter has been significantly reduced by habitat loss, beginning with the European colonization of North America. However, in some regions their population is controlled to allow the trapping and harvesting of otters for their pelts. River otters are very susceptible to environmental pollution, which is a likely factor in the continued decline of their numbers. A number of reintroduction projects have been initiated to help stabilize the reduction in the overall river otter population.
