A Delta photographer has a photo included in the Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year exhibition now on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
Rob McLean's image of a Rufous hummingbird feeding on honeysuckle at sunset in Ladner was one of 25 selected for the exhibit.
The sixth edition of this popular annual show features winning photographs from the 2013 Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year Contest, which was organized by Canadian Geographic in partnership with the museum. The photos will be on display until Sept. 1. "Through our partnerships with esteemed organizations such as Canadian Geographic we expand our reach to Canadians, providing further insight into the complexity, diversity and wonders of the natural world," says Meg Beckel, president and CEO of the museum.
"This exhibition is a delightful way for people of all ages to enjoy a window on the beauty and value of wildlife."
"The Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year Contest always reveals stunning photographs of our country's wildlife," says Gilles Gagnier, publisher of Canadian Geographic.
