Oh wow, thanks Pat (and Jonathan)! I don't know how I missed seeing this link when Jonathan posted it originally!! I see seven people spotted them at North Point Marina which is only 15 minutes from where I live and I pass there when I go looking for deer. In fact, I was just past there yesterday!
Thanks again ...this will be VERY helpful!
Spectacular, Pat! You were lucky to get one at eye level... most of my sightings are way up high on power poles. The background also worked out really well for your shots. A nice early Christmas treat!

Oh lucky me! Came across this gorgeous wolf on a quiet back road in Banff this morning.

(Silly me should have used ISO 800, and I would have had a few more keepers. But I'm glad that this one came out tack sharp).

Oh wow, Jonathan! That is one beautiful shot!
Well, I went scouting today for snowy owls and didn't spot a one but I am on a mission and hopefully will see one soon!
In the meantime, ducks will just have to do and deer of course but I figure you have seen enough of them from me!

Jonathan - That is a great shot of a wolf. You certainly seem to live in a great for photography, but I would imagine it is still difficult to run across a wolf (and/or a lot of patience). Cool shot!
Denise - Some really nice duck shots. Very sharp.

This is how we do an Aussie Christmas meal. No egg nog, no turkey, no snow and no salad or veggies. Just hot weather, plenty of seafood and where I am that means prawns, Morteon Bay bugs and oysters and cold Chardonnay. It may not be politically or dietarily( I don't think that's a word, who cares) correct, but it suits us just fine.
Merry merry to all and thanks for viewing.

Denise, I like the shot of your red breasted merganser---what did the red reflections in the water come from?
Bob
Thanks! The red is the reflection from the red lighthouse.Originally Posted by bob williams
