Whisky Jack , Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, Canada
Friendly Whisky Jack

Species: Whisky Jack | Location: Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, Canada

This friendly bird kept me company on my recent hike to Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. He flew right into my hands on multiple occasions and was a natural in front of the camera. Beautiful day, beautiful bird, beautiful photo.

About The Photographer

Cropped img 1960
I have been taking photos for years and have always been enamoured with photography. I saved up enough money about three years ago and purchased my first DSLR camera. Photography has been influential in getting me outside, doing and seeing things I never thought about before. It has inspired me to further explore this beautiful island I call home. I was born and raised here on Vancouver Island and the oppourtunity to photograph wildlife and nature here has always been breathtaking and bountiful.
