Happy #WorldOtterDay! Today is their day, but to me it is otter day every day! I am grateful to know that sea otters are back from the brink after being hunted to near extinction during the fur trade. To learn more , read my book Sea Otters: A Survival Story. #seaotters #otters #ocean

My new doc SANDPIPERS' LAST SUPPER is now on the CBC's Nature of Things YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMo0...

The film tells the story of the western sandpiper’s long-distance migration powered by an invisible mud-based superfood that supports the species’ survival. #shorebirds #birdwatching

It was #WorldWhaleDay yesterday, and I am grateful that I can photograph humpbacks who have returned to the #salishsea after decimation by whaling.

Today humpbacks are faced with multiple threats: climate change, ship strikes, entanglements. I want a future that includes whales. #whales #ocean

Watching migrating western sandpipers fly over the mudflats on the Fraser River estuary in BC is one of the most enchanting spectacles of the natural world. Sadly, this may all come to an end if we do not protect the birds' habitat. Support the campaign: sandpiperbiofilm.com #birds #documentary
