It looks like some level of training or moral support is being transmitted between the two birds as they fly together. The shot was taken in the …
My name is Simon Lauer. I am 11-years-old and am e-mailing you to send in a pic for Living with Wildlife. I met Mr. Squirrel in a forest near my house. I took the pic with my 14 Mega Pixels FujiFilm camera. I hope I can see my picture in the mag.
These photos were taken on Dec. 8 around 1 p.m. near the Takhini campground. This otter and his pals were in the Kusawa River where the river was trying to freeze up and the rim of the ice meets the open water. The otters were probably fishing, but were very playful and were clearly interested …
This gorgeous caterpillar was enjoying the fireweed growing out of the deck in August. I saw one more like it in October while cleaning up the garden, but otherwise have never seen its match in size or colour north of 60. I would love to know what it has become, if there are any larvae experts in the …
I went out to clean and refill the birdbath in our backyard and found this little fella perched on the rim, sound asleep. I was able to get within 12 inches of him. When the bird awoke, he looked right at me for several seconds, giving me time to grab this second shot before flying …
This is a lynx skull, found by my boyfriend’s dog. We were out at Hunker Creek, just outside of Dawson City, last summer. A few friends and I were building a stage for a music event we put on, and the dog, Frett, wandered off and came back playing with the skull. I was fascinated …
I took this shot near the Yukon-B.C. border last summer as I was heading south on a road trip. The little guy came right up and said hello as we were pulling onto the highway — I assume it was at least somewhat domesticated, but it was still really wonderful to see.I shot it with …
We noticed a grizzly sitting on the beach when we were out on Kluane Lake in our small zodiac. The bear was far from Congden Creek campground, where we were camping at the time. We headed back to shore, and noticed the bear wandering down the beach toward us. We pulled up on shore close to …
I took the baby robins nesting in on of our spruce trees in our Christmas Tree Farm. Mommy robin was high above me in a poplar tree chirping and watching very carefully. I was very respectful of the little darlings and shot the photo quickly using a Nikon D90 at F5.6, 1/20 sec, ISO 400, and a 55 …
I went on a trek to find the new eagles’ nest. I randomly went off the trail by the airport, and the nest was exactly in front of me. I think they wanted their pictures taken that day. And I was lucky enough to catch dad bringing back lunch. I took this photo with a …
I ’m from Hungary and have been living in the Yukon for three years. I has never seen a caribou before. Even when I was at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, they were far away, so I couldn’t see them. Finally, on a sunny Sunday, a group of caribou was grazing on the side of the road. …
Disclosure: I’m not a Yukoner, just passing through, but saw the note in the March 20th issue (I’m staying at the Beez Kneez Bakpakers hostel that was mentioned in the issue about retired Quest dogs, one of whom, Bertha, is lying on the floor next to me as I type this!) and thought of a photo I …
It was a cloudy afternoon in late August at approximately 2 p.m. when my husband called me to come to our bedroom. Through the bedroom window I was shocked to see this beautiful owl perched on the ledge of our deck. He stayed there for approximately 15 minutes looking into our greenbelt and back to …
This is a picture of my father-in-law and I with the moose we were lucky enough to get on September 21. The picture was taken by my brand new brother-in-law Jamie Pike. I cow-called from the deck of the family cabin on Fox Lake late Friday evening and promptly went to bed. The next morning …
My son Billy and I went up onto the Top of the World for an afternoon grouse hunt, his first. There are dozens of trails and abandoned mining roads off of this highway and at this time of the year, the highway is closed and all but unused. The elevation brought lots of fog and …
This is my son Kyuss. It was the first day of bird hunting, and we were down the Aishihik Road camping overnight the day before. We were out target practicing with a Cooey 22, and he’s 8 years old, and I was 8 years old when my dad taught me how to shoot a Cooey …
This rather scrawny-looking fox joined me when I was walking in the woods above the dam on July 10th. He/she had given a blood curdling yelp (as foxes do) and came out on to the path just in front of me. It was small and young looking – its tail was not very long but …
This is a moose hunt from 2010 with my daughter Jenna, which we took at McQuesten Lake near Keno. It was Jenna’s first moose hunt. It took us two days to finally see a bull. Shore lunches and lots of calling, which she did lots of. It paid off. Jenna was actually the first to …
My 4-year-old granddaughter Laura and I rescued this waterlogged and apparently dead dragonfly from the beach at Kookatsoon Lake. It slowly dried out and eventually flew away! This photo was taken with a Nikon Coolpix S3500 on automatic close-up setting.
This photo was taken on our farm, called The Cable Farm, on the Ford Road just off the Takhini Hot Springs Road. We have approximately 14 deer that visit us on a regular basis. They love the alfalfa in the fields and let me take many photos. My husband and I receive a lot of …
I was taking pictures of the mule deer at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve when this male Mountain Bluebird landed on the fence next to me. I carefully aimed at the bird while changing my camera settings. I used a Canon 7D with a 400 mm lens and I set the camera at 200 ISO, F/8 …
While returning from Skagway I saw two black bears in the bush having lunch on some plants. They were enjoying themselves until my dogs, which were in the van with me, got a whiff of them and started barking. Once they heard the noise, the bears headed into the forest. This photo was taken with …
I observed this mama robin and her youngster over a period of about three days. The young one was lagging behind in development and wasn’t able to fly any distance and definitely not to any height. The mama robin was very patient and protective, even feeding the young one, and I got this lucky shot. It …
This photo was taken on our property at Cowley Creek with a Canon Powershot SX1 IS. This little guy was very friendly and came right up to me. He would sit close to me while working in the flower garden and, once, he stole one of my garden gloves that were placed beside me and …
Carcross resident Nadine Peters photographed this female grizzly bear. Two days later it was shot and killed in the same spot Peters photographed her, opening up the current debate about highway hunting.
