Furry friend stopping by for a visit. It’s always awe- inspiring to see them this close and such an amazing privilege. #BearSeason2025 #mammals 🌿

My Etsy is live; still updating the inventory DesignsByOnye.etsy.com

The snow was coming down sideways today on the tundra. Perfect weather for sparring polar bears. #BearSeason 🌿 #mammals

I'm particularly found of the light on this big bruiser. He was just waking up from a nap. #BearSeason2025 #mammals 🌿

Can you #FindThatLizard and that scholarship?! I am incredibly excited to announce that the 2nd annual #FindThatLizard Scholarship is now open! You can find the application at earynmcgee.com/findthatliza...

Coming through! Important ptarmigan stuff to do! #birds 🌿

One of my favourite polar bear photos I've taken to date. It was a weird, misty evening with just a sliver of sunlight coming through the fog, lighting up this bear on the rocks just outside of town. #mammals 🌿 #BearSeason2025

In the cardinal justice system, the birds are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups... XI. Justice #birds

While the polar bears are definitely the star of the show around Churchill these days, I was over the moon with spotting this Brants. Lifer pie (or in my case cake) for me! These guys nest in the high Arctic and you rarely see them around here. #birds 🌿

When you're hungry, but Mom doesn't want to wake up. #BearSeason #Mammals 🌿🐻‍❄️

An incredible moment on the Coastal Road this afternoon. Many people got to witness this bear roaming the rocks. However, it was getting too close to town and it was important we back off and let it be. Polar bear alert would eventually have to encourage it to move on.

Finally, a little cooler on the tundra today, but not cold enough. We were lucky to see this mom and cub, spending some time inland away from potentially dangerous males along the shore. 🐻‍❄️🌿 #mammals

A beautiful afternoon along Hudson Bay with a bunch of polar bears. It was much too warm for this time of year, so the bears were resting up and saving their energy. #mammals 🌿

Back on the tundra for a few days. This landscape always makes me really happy, even when it’s freakishly warm for this time of year.

A rather regal-looking polar bear on the fall tundra. #mammals 🌿

$4000! If we get to 5, it'll cover rent...

The glorious Awebo Bird :) These are willow ptarmigan. They are quite common on the tundra. You can see the various stages of transition from their summer plumage to their winter plumage. Once the snow is down, they are hard to spot. Their fluffy feet keep them warm on the snow. #birds 🌿

It's polar bear season in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada and I'm a guide. My polar bear photos always engender a lot of questions, so I thought I'd take a moment to answer some of the most common ones so you can better understand these amazing animals and our relationship with them in Churchill. 🐻‍❄️ 1/

Doesn't everyone just want a cozy rock to curl up and nap in? It looks so comfy :) #mammals 🌿🐻‍❄️

With no snow on the ground yet around Churchill, the Arctic hares are fairly easy to spot. In the summer, they are a dark grey, which blends in with the rocks. #mammals 🌿

For those wondering what they look like on the outside, this is a tundra buggy. It’s about 9 feet to the bottom of the windows, which is the highest a polar bear can reach. This particular one is an electric vehicle.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to ride in a tundra buggy, it’s pretty rocky. This was one of the smoother parts of the trail. It’s so quiet because this one is an EV. We’re working on electrifying the whole fleet.

My first polar bear of the season. Such a privilege and a pleasure to be able to spend time with these guys. #mammals 🌿🐻‍❄️

Another moody morning on the lake today. I won’t be seeing it for a few weeks, but I’m heading somewhere just as cool, technically probably a little colder. 😉

#nokings I think the world has evolved from monarchy.

It's been Juncopalooza in my yard these last few weeks. We normally only get the slate-coloured variety, but I did get one two-tone J. h. cismontanus subspecies, which usually live west of here. #birds 🌿

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Good morning from Lake Winnipeg.

OpenAI’s Sora is a brash and shoot-first garbage app, out there only to further stoke a culture of distrust. I say be more like its namesake (if they even realized it while slapping letters together): tread deftly and reward with originality and delight. #birds

This is amazing! I love it.

HUMAN ARTISTS! une one piece to convince people to follow you:

This paints a hilarious picture :)

Mergansers in the mist. I took this from my kayak on Tuesday morning. #birds 🌿

Turns out that painting them isn't much easier than photographing them, but I'm pretty pleased with how this belted kingfisher turned out. #illustration #birds

Story call-out: I'm looking to speak with someone in Manitoba who can describe a specific personal or professional occasion in which they were impacted by misinformation, or lack of media literacy.

🚨Reporters🚨 I'm looking for a reporter who's can zoom into my graduate professional development class and talk about interviewing scientists (e.g., what makes a good interview, how can scientists help reporters, ...).

Even in my kayak, I'm rarely able to approach bald eagles all that closely. However, every now and then, one decides I'm not worth moving for. #birds 🌿

We're in the middle of the peak migration time for bald eagles here along the south basin of Lake Winnipeg. While some stick around into winter, most head south. Ours have been tracked to the upper Mississippi river. I saw many perched along the shore looking for easy fish from the fishermen. #birds

A little Lapland longspur foraging along the shore. I'm always struck by how easy they are to approach. #birds 🌿

After the sun came up, the fog rolled in. Chilly, but lovely morning on the lake that I thought I'd share a moment from. You can hear a raven calling from the shore.

Some dramatic skies on the lake this morning. It was a cold paddle (2C), but I'm glad I got out.

Sunrise on the lake this morning. I knew I wasn't going to get the boat in the water fast enough to catch this, so I ran around to the other side of the point to see it from the shore.

I had an especially curious visitor this evening cleaning up the seeds the birds didn’t finish today. I was a little worried that I was going to have to go outside and help it at one point. 🌿 #mammals
