A fledgling snowy owl practises its flying skills on the hills above Marcil Lake, just northwest of Arctic Bay, on Sunday, Aug. 23. “I’ve seen the adults hunting in the general area for some time now, but the juveniles must have fledged around this weekend as they’ve been visible since at least Friday,” writes photographer Clare Kines. “The young owls will be practising their flying and perhaps their hunting skills as well, although the adults are likely still feeding them most of their food. They’ll move off later in the fall as winter sets in.” (Photo by Clare Kines)

Clare Kines of Arctic Bay spotted these white-rumped sandpipers on Aug. 9 at Kahula Lake, beyond Nanisivik. “These are young birds, hatched this summer,” he writes. “The adults have already left for the south. Incredible to think that they already have the map for their journey, the first they will make, imprinted in their brains.” (Photo by Clare Kines)
