Birding in British Columbia, Canada
A little change of pace today from birds. I managed to tag along with a group of six River Otters. Likely a family group as there were a couple of smaller ones.
Caught this adult as it came out of the water shaking its catch,
what looks like a Sculpin.
Finally a good look at the River Otter’s teeth before it started devouring the fish.
While not having much luck with birds this particular day,
these two young squirrels were just too cute to pass up.
With not much happening on the bird photo front today,
… I will start of with this as the sun was going down at the end of my afternoon out.
The main event for today was the ‘Super Blood Wolf Moon’, which happened this evening. A combination of events that apparently has only happened a few times in the last 100 years.
It is ‘Super’ because the moon is at its closest point to the earth in its orbit. ‘Blood’ from the reddish colour it takes on as a result of the total eclipse. ‘Wolf’ is the cultural side of this referring to the first full moon in January and hearing the wolves howling in hunger.
Fortunately the clouds held off for most of it and I managed this shot.
