I updated my profile on Destination BC, the official tourism organization for British Columbia. https://www.supernaturalbc.com/listings/vancouver-island-photo-tours-with-catherine-babault-900346478/

Starting to receive inquiries for private photo tours in August and September, my busiest time of the year. 😊 Hoping for a busy 2026.

Stellar's Jay: I have wanted to see a Stellar's jay for so long, my mind gave them mythical stature like a griffin or sphinx. I was surprised-and delighted- to see that they are just a pocket sized bundle of adorableness. #jay #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #oiseaux #natgeowildlife #bcbirds #explorebc #explorebcparks #burnaby #burnabylake #cangeo #sharecangeo
