   #3 - Bald Eagles

   S1:E38/10/2016

   Wildlife photographer Bertie Gregory encounters one of the most majestic birds of prey - the bald eagle.

These skilled hunters have vision about five times sharper than our own and can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour when diving for their prey. Join Bertie as he gets up close and personal with these bald eagles as they show off their lightning-fast hunting skills.

   S1:E48/17/2016

   After weeks of roaming around the pristine landscape of Vancouver Island in search of the mysterious coastal wolves, wildlife photographer Bertie Gregory is trying a different method.

The ghostlike wolves elude Bertie yet again, but his time is well spent as he spots everything from herons to barred owls.

   #6 - Sea Lions

   S1:E68/31/2016

   This week Bertie Gregory is getting wet. Steller sea lions are one of the largest predators in the waters of Vancouver Island and today, Bertie is getting up close and personal with them. On land, sea lions are big and clumsy looking, but in the water, they lengthen out and come alive. They need to be agile-the big males need to catch more than a hundred pounds of fish a day just to survive. The question is, How will these big bulls react when Bertie puts on a wet suit?

    #10 - Whales

    S1:E109/28/2016

    Bertie Gregory has been so focused on the large land animals of this place, he's hardly noticed what's lurking in the waters just off shore. So this week, he's on the hunt for the biggest animals in this ecosystem: whales and orcas, some of the most massive animals on Earth. Even though we can only see their tails and dorsal fins, experts can identify them on sight, and Bertie makes some pretty incredible discoveries about these giants' past.

    #11 - Salmon Sex and Death Sustains This Forest

    S1:E1110/5/2016

    What do salmon-and their sex lives-have to do with keeping a forest healthy? Bertie explains that salmon equal more than just meal time for coastal predators roaming the shores and tidal shelves; they're also a rich source of marine nutrients for the soil on Vancouver Island and an integral player in the island's ecosystem, all thanks to their mating cycles. The unique relationship between the land and the water is the focus of Bertie's fascination with this wild place.
