What the Fox Actually Said

To continue with the fox theme we started last week, and because I have more fox videos than any other kind, I’m sharing another one! One of the most annoying things to have emerged in popular culture in the last couple of years was that terrible song, “What Does the Fox Say?” Spare yourself the terror of the video and …

Welcome back to the Sunday Edition. This month is crazy busy for me. Not only am I finally printing out a bunch of my images for a winter sale, I have also decided to write a novel in a month. Posts this month won’t be quite as long as they have been the last little while but maybe that’s a …

Camouflage

Welcome back to the Sunday edition. This week I wanted to have a look at how animals use camouflage. I do quite a bit of research to make sure the information I write is accurate. I learn a lot about animals during this process and my reading often inspires new ideas for photos or things to watch for when out …

Animal Injuries in the Wild

Hello and welcome to this week’s Sunday edition. Some of these photos may be disturbing for some people as these are images of wild animals who have injuries or deformities of an unknown origin. I can’t report on whether or not any of them have survived except for the coyote who I saw just recently. I had a very sick …

Willow Ptarmigan

Ptarmigan are familiar birds around Yellowknife. Some years it seems like they are everywhere and other years they can be difficult to spot. The ptarmigan population fluctuates in cycles much like the hare. This will be my 9th winter in Yellowknife and there hasn’t been a year yet where I haven’t seen these chubby birds waddling around town. Ptarmigan are …

Foxes and Wolves

I had some incredible wildlife encounters this summer. Between travelling and scoping out my favourite spots around Yellowknife I had a chance to meet some new creatures and see some familiar faces. The foxes I’ve been following for a while were present in their usual haunts most of the summer but construction near their home base later in the year …

The Eastern Phoebe

In my experience the Eastern Phoebe is a friendly and curious little bird. Often times when I am out looking for birds to photograph I will spot a Phoebe perched nearby watching me. Occasionally they will fly closer to investigate. I’ve seen phoebes nearly everywhere I have stopped to photograph birds. They look a lot like other flycatchers such as …

Snowshoe Hares

This week we’re learning all about the humble Snowshoe Hare. Snowshoe hares get their name from thier feet, not because they act like snowshoes keeping them on top of the snow, but because their feet stay white all year long making them look like they are wearing “snow” shoes. Hares are part of the family Leporidae which includes both rabbits …
