Featured Wildlife 

Pygmies are normally found at higher elevations but 

move down to lower elevations in the winter. They can 

often be located by observing flocks of agitated songbirds 

that will mob a Pygmy owl upon discovery. Pygmy 

owls are monogamous during breeding season and 

lay eggs in tree cavities; they never excavate their own 

cavities and thus are reliant on rot and woodpeckers to 

carve out their cavities. A typical clutch of eggs contains 

between two and seven eggs. The female incubates the 

eggs for 28 days while the male hunts. After hatching, 

the nestling period lasts between 21 to 23 days and the 

first flight is normally at around 28 days old. Pygmies 

are non migratory and are found on the coast of Vancouver 

Island year round. Northern Pygmy owls are 

listed by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation 

of Nature) as Least Concern. Because they are 

cavity nesters, Pygmy Owls need dead standing timber 

for breeding sites. As a result, forest management practices 

of removing dead trees can reduce their habitat. 

As Pygmies are reliant on woodpeckers to carve out 

their nesting cavities, their survival is directly dependent 

on woodpecker populations. Proper forest management 

practices can help ensure that Pygmy populations continue 

to thrive into the future.•

Northern Pygmy Owl 

While the Northern Pygmy owl is at first glance a cute and 

cuddly little bird, in reality it’s a ferocious predator capable 

of taking down prey over three times its size. Pygmies 

hunt during the day using their natural camouflage to blend in with 

their surroundings. This makes it one of the easier species of owl 

to spot. Songbirds, small mammals, and insects make up its diet. 

When food is abundant, a pygmy will store food within caches in 

tree cavities. Northern Pygmy owls can be identified by their small 

stature; rounded head; and large yellow eyes. They are six to seven 

inches in height with a wingspan of approximately 15 inches. They 

are dark brown in colour, with white speckles on their back and two 

large dark patches on the back of their neck which look like eyes. 

These are believed to be a defence mechanism against predators, 

which include larger owls, raptors and some mammals such as weasels. 

They lack the larger ears and tufts that most owls have. These 

owls have a greater reliance on vision than other species of owls.

Douglas Ludwig 

Photo: Douglas Ludwig 

Ukeedaze: When did you get into photography, 

and when did it become your career? 

Douglas: When I was about 10, I bought a 

camera at a garage sale and my step-dad ran 

a camera store so he made me read a book 

called “My First Camera”. I learned the 

basics and what photography is all about. 

In high school I learned how to shoot 

film in the dark room and then around 

1990, I bought some good gear and started 

working for Split clothing shooting their 

skate, snow, and surf team. I eventually 

stopped working for them and branched 

off doing it as a career and started shooting 

snowboarding. The snow brought me up 

to Canada as I was shooting with Kevin 

Sansalone and the Seymour crew. At the 

time there wasn’t a whole lot of money to 

made in the snowboard industry, but when 

I started getting into the mags in the early 

90’s I was super stoked and wanted to keep 

following my passion. When I moved up 

to Canada I got the cover for Snowboard 

Canada and that was pretty huge for me. So 

professionally it’s been about 20 years, but I 

took a break for a couple years and worked 

as a sales rep. 

Ukeedaze: What equipment are you currently 

using? 

Douglas: I’ve always been a Nikon customer, 

right now I have the Nikon D600. 

Ukeedaze: Aside from taking photos what 

else are you passionate about: 

Douglas: Surfing and photography are my 

two biggest passions. I grew up surfing and 

it’s been a constant in my life. Surfing is another 

reason why I ended up in Ucluelet. I 

started sponsoring Sepp and Raph Bruhwiler 

and Peter Devries when I was working 

with Globe Shoes, they’d take me surfing 

and fishing and I just loved the beauty and 

nature up here. Surfing has kind of made 

me who I am, it’s my church, I always feel 

better after a surf and I’ve been doing it 

since I was 13. 

Ukeedaze: What’s the best thing about living 

in Ukee? 

Douglas: The quietness, the wildlife, and the 

nature. You can be out in nature instanly; 

everywhere you look there’s a beautful backdrop. 

I shoot weddings with my girlfriend 

Ocean, she’s my partner and this is our 

studio. We can take couples out to the most 

beautiful places and get amazing photos. 

Ukeedaze: What’s your favorite subject to 

shoot? 

Douglas: A while ago it was snowboarding, 

I like shooting surfing, but I’d rather 

be surfing. I’d like to be shooting more 

wildlife like bears and wolves as it connects 

me more to nature. So nature, but my main 

source of income is weddings. At first 

weddings were a little stressful but we’ve got 

it dailed now and I really enjoy capturing 

those memories for people. I’m grateful 

that Ocean is my partner now because she 

brings us up to a higher level. So there are 

two of us shooting and she helps me with 

subtle touches that make our photos even 

better. 

Ukeedaze: So you’re from the U.S. originally. 

Where did you grow up? 

Douglas: I grew up in Long beach California, 

which is just North of Huntington 

Beach. I learned how to surf at Seal beach, 

and Huntington. 

Ukeedaze: What’s your biggest fear? 

Douglas: I try to not let fear enter my life 

and that’s one of the things I like about being 

here as I’ve been able to let go of a lot 

of the fears I used to have. I guess my biggest 

fear is corrupt governments and that 

my daughter might not have the same level 

of freedoms that we’re able to enjoy right 

now. It seems like Canada and the United 

States are giving up a lot of freedoms in the 

name of security and it’s a slippery slope. 

Ukeedaze: Goofy, or Regular? 

Douglas: I’m goofy. 

Ukeedaze: Where do you see yourself in 

five years? 

Douglas: Shooting for more magazines, 

maybe travelling more around the world to 

shoot. My girlfriend and I would like to go 

to Italy and make a cook book with photos 

one day. Living a little bit more off the grid, 

learning to hunt, buy a bigger lens, and 

make more art. 

Ukeedaze: I was able to watch your time 

lapse video at the Art Splash event, which 

was awesome by the way. Some of those 

clips spanned quite a time frame, did you 

stay with your gear, how were you able to 

keep your equipment powered in those 

remote locations and make it all work? 

Douglas: Thanks, I have a battery pack so 

I have two batteries, so I can go longer. 

There were a couple of times when I left 

it in the bush, came home, had dinner and 

went back to grabbed it. That was when it 

was hidden and remote enough that I didn’t 

worry about someone finding it. Some of 

them were out on my back deck. Typically 

they were over three to four hour spans. I 

started off small and I really got into it. 

Ukeedaze: Can people find that if they 

wanted to watch it? 

Douglas: Not yet, but I’d like to do a shorter 

one and put it up on Vimeo for people to 

see. This was my first one, but I’d like to do 

more of them, I still have a lot to learn with 

editing it all. 

Ukeedaze: What’s currently on your wish 

list? 

Douglas: An 800 mm lens with a doubler 

2.8, a dual sport motorcycle so I can get to 

more remote locations to shoot. Maybe a 

boat so I can see more of the coast. Those 

three things would make me pretty stoked. 

That’s what I’m manifesting right now. •

Bear Aware 

Photo: Liisa Nielsen 

While on the West Coast of 

Vancouver Island, it is important 

to remember that we are in 

bear country. By taking several simple 

precautions, we can minimize the risk of 

a dangerous encounter with a bear and do 

our part to prevent bears from being killed 

unnecessarily. Unfortunately every year 

British Columbia Conservation officers 

have to kill bears due to perceived or actual 

threats to human safety. In fact from 1992 

to 1996, a total of 246 grizzlies and 4,246 

black bears were killed in British Columbia. 

Unfortunately, in most instances, bears are 

put down its due human carelessness. On 

the bright side, most of these cases are 

preventable. With a few minor changes to 

our behaviour, these killings can be avoided. 

Bears can become what is referred to as 

“food conditioned” if allowed access to 

food and garbage. Once this happens, the 

bear becomes more difficult to scare off 

and can begin to associate people with food. 

Once this occurs, the bear will be more 

likely to approach humans and inevitably 

will have to be put down. To prevent 

bears from becoming food conditioned 

take the following steps: 

• Dispose of all garbage in a bear 

safe container. There are bear safe 

garbage cans and bins conveniently 

located throughout town. 

• Never leave food out and unattended. 

While camping, leave the cooler 

and food in the car when not in use 

and overnight. 

• Excess food residue on barbecues 

can also attract bears; make sure to 

burn off excess food residues and 

clean grills after use. 

• Dispose of fish waste properly. 

• Never ever feed a bear. 

Bears are wild animals and should be treated 

with respect. While they are normally not 

aggressive and shy away from humans, there 

are some precautions we can take to prevent a 

dangerous encounter: 

• If a bear is encountered, remain calm and 

back away. Do not panic. 

• Keep pets on a leash. Pets can attract 

bears and may provoke or chase a bear if 

allowed. Keep pets on a leash and keep 

them, yourself and other animals safe. 

• When viewing wildlife, stay a safe distance 

away. If in a vehicle, stay in the vehicle and 

ensure that the vehicle is parked off the 

road and in a safe visible location to avoid 

being a traffic hazard. 

Taking these steps goes a long way to preserving 

our local bear populations so they can 

continue to thrive for years to come. •
