Normaliter maken wij ons op voor een mooie natuurreis door Noord-Amerika. Helaas door de huidige wereldwijde situatie moeten ook wij het dit jaar even in ons eigen landje zoeken. En wat doe je dan als je twee weken vakantie hebt in Nederland? Hetzelfde als op reis, dieren spotten en dus vroeg je bed uit en laat weer terug 😁

De afgelopen twee weken heeft in het teken gestaan van uilen🦉We zijn naar verschillende locaties geweest waar we verschillende uilen hebben kunnen spotten. De één door goed onderzoek te doen en de ander door een vriendelijke tip 😉

De uil op deze afbeelding is een Bosuil (Tawny Owl)

Bosuilen hebben vaak een favoriete ‘roestboom’ of groepje bomen, een vaste stek waar de ze rusten. Meestal zijn het verscholen plekken, zoals dichte sparren of boomholtes. Overdag knappen ze er een uiltje maar zodra de duisternis zich aandient, worden bosuilen actief. Met geruisloze slagen vliegen ze tussen de bomen en zoeken ze open structuren op om gaan jagen.

First day of snow in the Netherlands and immediately shooting a nice winter picture of this squirrel. Squirrels are truly photogenic 😃🐿️🙌

Bald eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from an older meaning of the word, "white headed". The adult is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are about 25 percent larger than males.

During our 2018 trip through Alaska, we were able to photograph plenty of these beautiful birds of prey. They are very common here.

Gister een fantastische ochtend samen met Martin @thornspic in de hut gehad. 😃

We waren nog geen 5 min gestationeerd toen de eekhoorn de show kwam stelen. Schitterend om te zien hoe ze zo vliegensvlug de walnoten en de beukennoten meenemen om ze vervolgens her en der te begraven voor de wintermaanden.

We hebben ongeveer 4 uurtjes gezeten met als kers op de taart het Steenuiltje die even prachtig kwam poseren. Erg geslaagde ochtend!!👌📸

During our 2018 trip through Yukon / Alaska we came across this beautiful Grizzly.

The life of a Grizzly Bear revolves around an intensive search for the most nutrient-rich foods it can find. It will spend winter in a den before emerging in spring to search for food. Yukon Grizzly Bears have a very low rate of reproduction. They breed for the first time around their 8th year and reproduce every 3 to 4 years.

Food:
Roots, berries, grasses, sedges, horsetails, moose, caribou and small mammals.

Yesterday I sat with @thornspic in the photohide where we were able to photograph many young birds, squirrels and some beautiful pigeons. Here's a portrait of one of those pigeons.

Although we often want to photograph the special species, you cannot deny that pigeons are also beautiful birds with beautiful colors.

We saw this big Grizzly looking for food along the coastline during our 'Grizzly Bears of the Wild Tour'. It was an unforgettable day with nice people on board! Thanks for this great experience @seawolfadventures

Steller Sea lions during our Glacier / Wildlife tour in Alaska 🏔️
.
This shot is taken at the end of May. During this time, the female returns to her home rookery – an isolated rock where adults gather for mating and birthing. During the mating season, Stellers gather together in dense colonies for safety, away from land predators.

Black Bear (blonde) 🐻

Black bears come in more colors than any other North American mammal. They can be black, brown, cinnamon, blond, blue-gray, or white. This one is a blonde one.

For the change I once used a wide-angle lens for this photo. Normally I always use a telephoto lens to photograph animals in order not to disturb them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Only this kangaroo was so curious that she came very close and did not feel disturbed at all. I took a few pictures and then took some distance myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They are really beautiful and special animals that remain very addictive to photograph, especially if there is a little Joey 😊👶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
