Pet puma 😂

As with any wildlife, approach slowly, carefully, quietly and with a dollop of reckless disregard for your own safety 🤣. In all seriousness, we didn’t approach. We took our position based upon where we thought it would go after having followed it for a while, and then just waited. I got lucky that I decided to walk right up to me and stop in front of the rainbow.

Amazing!! I'll never see on so close in Texas, unless it plans to attack me as they are considered "pest" here and are shot on sight.

Many ranchers in Chile are now embracing wildlife tourism related to the pumas. Previously, they also shot pumas because the pumas would prey on cattle. Conservationists have shown ranchers that they can make more money by protecting pumas and encouraging wildlife tourism than they could make otherwise. Now we just have to be careful that greed doesn’t cause uncontrolled tourism that stresses the animals and the natural environment.

Uncropped; fortunate to get a nice, close look!

It’s so strange. Hummingbirds migrate south in central Texas yet hang out up there. He is certainly fattened up for the winter. Great shot.

Depends on the type of hummingbird. Anna's Hummingbirds remain on Vancouver Island all year. Rufous Hummingbirds come to Vancouver Island in the Spring, have their chicks here, then they all go to Mexico for the winter.

Nice shot and cool plane. Looks like Port Hardy airport? Took ride on one of those from Port Hardy to floating lodge in Great Bear Rainforest.

Thanks Tony. Right you are - Port Hardy. They are operated by Wilderness Seaplanes, a subsidiary of Pacific Coastal, so likely who you flew with. Which lodge did you go to out of curiosity?

I don't like the extreme compression of super telephoto so to see a photo of a cougar at a normal focal length is very special. It is not just a wildlife photo, it works equally well as a landscape photo. It is very balanced too with the courage on the left side and looking and moving right, and the shrub and blue sky on the right side vs. the mountain and clouds on the left side. I also enjoy the muted colours and limited palette, just green, yellow, blue and magenta, with their layered transition for foreground to background. The grasses in the foreground are almost cradling the cougar, and the cougar perfectly framed between edge of the hills above and the bottom edge of the photo, even the hills almost parallel to the cougar's back and neck.

Great Bear Lodge: https://greatbeartours.com/great-bear-lodge

I went a bit too late in season for good light. Nice lodge, but expensive. I did not need or want wine with fancy meals, but the mostly older tourist couples from other countries seemed to love it. Most of them just used cellphones or bridge cameras and wanted to talk about all the different places they had been on tours.

Oh ok I know that one, I've flown over it a few times, wondered what it was. Plus another member here invited me to join a group that was headed there a couple years ago, I never put two & two together. Not too far from another lodge I worked at as well, Nimmo Bay. Did you get good photo opportunities at least?

No action shots, but got nice serene shots. Last bears of the season worked the river early in the morning and late afternoon (mid September). The Canon 300 f2.8 helped.
