From the author:

From my office window in Calgary, Alberta, I can see the jagged saw blade of the Rocky Mountains, 100 kilometres (60 miles) to the west.  In moments of idle daydreaming, I often recall vivid memories from those distant snow-capped summits. I glimpse again the muscled shoulders of a bighorn ram racing across a precipitous cliff in Banff National Park.  I remember a trio of silver-gray wolves as they loped over the frozen surface of a river in Jasper National Park, or the rubbery lips of a black bear in Kootenay National Park as it stripped berries from a roadside bush.  At other times, I recall the delightful camouflage of a clutch of ptarmigan chicks in an alpine meadow in Kananaskis Country, the comical contortions of a hoary marmot tormented by mosquitoes in Yoho National Park, or the buoyant flight of a great gray owl as it melted into a thicket of aspens in Waterton Lakes National Park.

My memories of the mountains always include wildlife.  It is muscle and blood, feathers and fur that gives the mountains their life-force, and it’s the wildlife which makes the mountains so compelling to explore and satisfying to photograph.

Canadian Rockies Wildlife Photography is a guide to capturing images of the magnificent and the mighty, the elegant and the elusive.  In your travels through the mountains, I hope you will discover, as I have, the beauty and magic of its wild creatures.
