  • Rimed crescent

    There is something indescribably beautiful about an icy cold day in the High Arctic, as the dark season rushes to its end.  It is -34C, and mostly calm. Snow crunches and squeaks below your feet, ice fog lightly blurs the horizon. Ravens soar in the noon brightness, looking for food and mischief, finding both. Without…

  • First (um, Third actually) Friday – The January edition

    Amy at WildBird on the Fly, just released the latest results for the belated First Friday for January. Congratulations go out to the Marvelous in Nature's own Seabrooke Leckie.  She wrote the winning entry this month (sometimes in the last three hours before the deadline – talented or what?) of an unexpected surprise on a…

  • Dipping in the cold dark.

    I do know better, really I do. Something I've been meaning to do for awhile now, actually since before the Christmas Bird Count, is take a trip down past the St George Society Cliffs, out to Nuvua and search for Gyrfalcons. Prior to last winter I believed, and had been led to believe that Gyrfalcons…
