[252/365] - What an experience.. 🤯🥹 alone in the woods I watched these two siblings interacting. From what I can gather, they're play-fighting and preening each other before going out to hunt. If you look closely they interlock their talons too - and to think I wasn't going to go out that day. There were three juveniles, with a fourth nearby. I have never seen or knew this was a behavior they did to each other until now. So incredible 🥺 - - #200600g #audubonsociety #bb_of_ig #best_birds_of_ig #bestbirdshots #bird_freaks #birdphotography #birds_adored #birds_captures #canada_photolovers #earthcapture #elite_owls #elite_raptors #eliteraptors #greathornedowl #heartsofcanada #owlet #owlobsession #owlphotography #owls #owlsofinstagram #owlstagram #raptor #raptors #raptorsofinstagram #raw_allnature #sharecangeo #sonyalpha #wildlifephotography #yourshotphotographer

[144/365] - [🔊 on!] This was a fascinating experience! The final few moments of their mating ritual. The most intense water splashed at the end, consummation, and finally, the crossing of the bills. It still astonishes me this is all instinctual. 🤯 - - #200600g #americanavocet #avocet #bb_of_ig #best_birds_of_ig #best_birds_of_world #best_birds_planet #bestbirdshots #bird_brilliance #bird_freaks #birds_adored #birdsofinsta #birdsonearth #canada_photolovers #colorgrading #featured_wildlife #heartsofcanada #imagesofcanada #matingseason #matingritual #nuts_about_birds #raw_allnature #raw_birds #sharecangeo #shorebird #sonyalpha #wadingbirds #waterbirds #wildlifephotography #yourshotphotographer

[256/365] - Coming at you with another heart melter 🥹 I spent a couple weeks waiting for hours, every day, for a chance to watch this family. So incredible to witness it, nature sure is beautiful. - - #200600g #audubonsociety #babyfox #canada_photolovers #colorgrading #cutefox #davinciresolve #earthcapture #featured_wildlife #fox #foxes #foxesofinstagram #foxkit #foxkits #foxlovers #foxred #heartsofcanada #imagesofcanada #raw_allnature #redfox #sonyalpha #sonyworldclub #vulpesvulpes #wildlifeaddict #wildlifephotographer #wildlifephotography #wildlifevideos #worldshares #yourshotphotographer

[365/365] - Unbelievable.. What a year. For those who don't know, today is my last day of daily posting for an entire year 😭. I challenged my friend @joshua.n.j to daily posting in order to force myself to get out taking photos more, but I didn't expect the year to end like this. When I started this challenge, my intent was only to share for the sake of sharing. Never did I imagine I would network and meet so many new friends or that my page would grow so much. From 356 people to 23k, absolutely unreal. I've learned so, so much more about photography, videography, and wildlife this last year. Daily posting was a pretty arduous task with some highs and lows, but as proud as I am of accomplishing it - 2024 won't be daily posts haha 🤣 but I hope to put out some Icelandic content 🇮🇸 However, daily posting became a bit of a chore at times (especially when I was sick), really taking the magic out of photography. Some days, I wasn't proud of what I was putting out. It was a panic post. The lesson I did learn, though, is that some people like images of mine I don't like - photography is so subjective! I can't thank everyone enough for the kind words, the sharing of my work, and welcoming me as a part of the community 🥰 I will be taking a break from posting for the month of January, so I'll see you then! All the best, Colton - - #snowyowl #buboscandiacus #snowy #top9 #topnine #mytop9 #mytopnine #2023 #wildlifephotography #wildlife #owls #owl #winter #winterphotography #winterwildlife #thankyou
