S26-0223A, Wildlife Photography in Canada (Re-Scheduled from 23 Feb)

In this, her fifth presentation for LLI, Louise will share photographs she took on two spectacular trips to Canada in 2025. The first trip was to Newfoundland in July. It was the peak migratory season for seabirds and mammals converging in the northwest Atlantic Ocean to take advantage of the fish crowding into the coastal region to spawn. The second trip was to Hudson’s Bay in November. That’s when polar bears gather along the coast waiting for the Bay to freeze over so they can go out on the ice to hunt for food. Arctic Fox and other species follow the bears to devour any leftovers from the hunt. Will it be a prime opportunity for photography or will climate change alter behaviors? Join us and find out!

Presenter: Louise Noyes
Louise Noyes spent her early years in Seattle, Washington and in the foothills of the Cascade Range. A graduate of the University of Washington, she spent 36 years in positions of increasing responsibility in the Intelligence Community, responsible for economic analyses of China and Russia and for politico-military issues in the Middle East. Along the way, she picked up a business degree, post-graduate studies in economics, and some proficiency in German, Russian, and Chinese. Her husband of 47 years passed away in mid-2019. And now she’s very busy trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up.
