These Canadian wildlife DVDs will inspire adults and children of all ages to better appreciate God's Creation and the value of all life on Earth. British Columbia and Alberta have some of the most spectacular and pristine wilderness on this Planet with amazing wildlife that live in their natural habitat.
Some of the scenes you will enjoy in these wildlife films are the life cycle of the Chinook salmon, predators and their prey, dangerous wildlife, grizzly bear attack, bird identification, song birds, birds of prey, falconry, bird banding, wildlife conservation with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, fur bearing animals, wild sheep fighting during the rut and ungulates in the rutting season. You'll also see First Nations, sport and commercial fishing that are closely monitored by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Pacific Salmon Foundation.
Filmmaker Leon Lorenz has spent more than 2 decades in the wild filming rare animal behaviors for these programs. It is with deep determination and hard work that each film is produced. It is one thing to spot wildlife from a distance, but quite another to capture close and exciting rituals seldom seen by humans. In order to capture such footage Leon has to climb the steep Canadian Rocky Mountains often with a 70 pound pack, endure cold weather and deep snow in the winter and fight off mosquitoes and flies in the summer. Sometimes for days he will hide in a blind to get certain difficult shots and at times face sudden and close grizzly bear encounters. These are all taken in stride as hard work and patience are intergal aspects of being a successful Canadian wildlife filmmaker. When one of Nature's rare and exciting moments finally unfolds in the camera's viewfinder it makes all the hardships worthwhile.

"It's a glorious, stunning piece of work, the gold sifted from one videographer's lifetime of experience out of doors."
— Diane Porter, www.birdwatching.com
From soaring eagles to tiny hummingbirds growing up in a nest we humans have marvelled at the design and beauty of these feathered creatures. Film-maker Leon Lorenz has captured rare and exciting footage of birds and you are invited to experience it as well.
A true call of the wild is the drumming of a male ruffed grouse which attracts a mate and a hungry coyote. A mother white-tailed ptarmigan with new born chicks allows Leon with his camera to approach within 24 inches, but a protective northern goshawk will dive-bomb him because of her nest nearby. A bald eagle attaching geese or drowning a duck-it's all in a days work! Robins attacking an owl, ospreys fishing, golden eagles hunting and other birds of prey in action are all filmed for your enjoyment. Many species of birds that have young in nest include the American dipper, bald eagle, eastern kingbird and cedar waxwing.
Dr. Edgar T. Jones of Edmonton, Alberta has been banding birds since 1940. He uses nets to capture many species including the northern saw-whet owl and sharp-shinned hawk. He shares a wealth of knowledge on this subject. Mark Williams, president of the Falconry Association of Alberta sheds light on this ancient sport and his peregrine gyr falcon cross takes a duck at high speed. Lets all be good stewards of our planet so we can enjoy our feathered friends for all times.
