To be able to witness such tender moments with these magnificent beasts is really something. Nursing her 2 year old cub multiple times a day while not having fed herself since she left the sea ice requires a great deal of fat stored. Mothers milk from a polar bear is 33% fat!! Then some grooming , a nap and repeat. And look at that black tongue!

In this clip you can hear the male loon calling in distress/ warning 2x. After the call, if you listen closely you can hear another loon calling in the distance. The pair were both guarding their chick closely as you can see in the final part of the video. The parents were looking both ways as well as under water.
There are a few spots available for my 2025 loon photography tours and workshops. Check out the link in the profile for more info. Have a safe weekend!

Observing the behaviours of the cross fox is always entertaining. This fox hunted and buried its catch not far from us . I was surprised to see it tap down on the dig site neatly to better hide the disturbed snow.

River Otter
I had the good fortune to view this river otter a week ago. The ice was still open enough for him to be able to pop in and out easily while forraging. In the final frame you can see that he was eating a little trout. River otters use both their eyes and wiskers to hunt underwater which is important for areas with low light and murky water.
