About CornerfieldNotes
An independent editorial resource on wildlife photography in the Canadian wilderness.
What this site is
CornerfieldNotes documents fieldwork techniques for photographing wildlife in Canada — bears, moose, raptors, and migratory waterfowl specifically. The content is drawn from direct field experience and from sourced reference material from Canadian wildlife agencies and peer-reviewed ecology.
This is not a gear review site, though gear decisions are discussed when they affect the quality of a field session. It is not a tour booking resource. The articles here are field notes in a literal sense: observations organized for practical use by photographers working in similar environments.
Geographic focus
The primary coverage area is Canada's western and boreal regions — British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. Newfoundland and the Maritime coastal zones appear in the context of seabird and waterfowl work. The Canadian north (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut) is covered where relevant to species documented here.
Editorial approach
Articles are written in a descriptive, informational register. There are no recommendations to buy specific products and no commercial affiliations with gear manufacturers or tour operators. External links go to government wildlife agencies, federal legislation, and conservation organisations with a documented record of accuracy.
Content is updated when field conditions change significantly, when legislation governing wildlife access is amended, or when new information from wildlife monitoring programs alters the practical picture. The update date on each article reflects the last substantive revision.
Legal compliance and wildlife regulations
All fieldwork described on this site assumes compliance with applicable federal and provincial wildlife legislation, including the Migratory Birds Convention Act, the Species at Risk Act, and relevant provincial wildlife acts. CornerfieldNotes does not describe or condone approaches that would constitute harassment of wildlife under Canadian law.
