Canada Lynx at British Columbia

British Columbia's rugged sweep of Coast & Rocky Mountains, boreal & temperate forest, & glacier-carved valleys gives the Canada Lynx exactly the kind of wild, layered terrain it needs to stay hidden. Photographers joining the Wolves, Lynx & Winter Wildlife of Canada holiday head into this landscape in March, when the province's remote rivers, lakes & wetlands still hold the character of deep winter. It's a setting that rewards patience, with the mountains & forest edges offering the backdrop against which a fleeting lynx sighting becomes possible. For anyone hoping to capture this elusive cat on camera, British Columbia's varied wilderness is the stage on which the encounter unfolds.
