Hunkered down
Life can be tough as a seaside mouse, there are plenty of animals, birds especially, always on the lookout for an easy meal. Sometimes you find yourself at odds with your own species, as it appears this mouse may have as evidenced by its ear. Things become even more difficult during winter with a lack of resources to compete for causing mice to venture further. Vegetation becomes scarce, so one must plan their moves carefully. This mouse was lucky enough to find a bramble cage to hunker down in for a moments rest before plotting its next steps on its journey home.
Looking for Guidance

Too close for comfort
Mid November brings spawning salmon to the Puntledge river. There is no shortage of action this time of year as it brings many seabirds, raptors as well as seals, all hopeful to take advantage of mother nature's bounty. This seagull was hoping to get a scrap of salmon, but unfortunately found itself in for a surprise as the seal breached right next it and swallowed the entire meal.
The Stare Down
I came upon this young Bald Eagle feasting upon what is likely a deer carcass upon the riverbank of the Puntledge River during one of my lunch hours. It was a dreary day with light rain. I had to sneak up underneath a tree to get some leave from the rain, but crunched a small branch, at which point the Eagle realized it was being watched. It stared at me intently as if to say "back off, find your own meal".
