Well here we are in 2023. The past two years have been challenging to say the least. Illness, lockdowns, and all sort of mental health challenges have lingering effects on us all. Getting back to ‘normal’ maybe isn’t as easy as we thought it might be. I wanted to start the year off by looking back at all the wonderful …
This week I wanted to share with you some images of one of the neighbourhood foxes. This fellow here makes his rounds though the neighbourhood searching for mice and voles in the snow under bird feeders. There are also folks who hand feed the animals in the neighbourhood. While it is ironic that we rarely question how feeding birds affects …
Welcome! This week I have a few images of a fox doing some fishing. I captured these images over the course of a couple of days earlier this summer. I hope you enjoy! I stopped by the lake in mid May to do some birding and kayaking and saw this fox chasing after something in the marsh. It took me …
This week I have some images of spring foxes exploring the area around their den. I’ve done so many posts about foxes I’m not sure what’s left to say! I am interested in learning more about relationships between foxes. It seems like there is so much to know about how they teach their young, how they co-parent, and …
I had a fun little encounter with this cross fox yesterday out in the rain. A good reminder to start packing my mittens and weather protection for my camera! It’s going to be short and sweet this week as COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into life for the past month. I’m hoping to get back to regular posting once …
This week I have some images of a cross fox kit to share. There is a fox den along the Ingraham Trail (NWT Hwy 4) and almost every year there is a litter of rambunctious kits exploring the area. It is interesting to see the individual personalities of each animal during an interaction. Some kits are bold and approach …
I have a few fox images for you this week because I know how much you love to see these cute fluffy faces! I have been more diligent about carrying a camera with me when I am out and it is paying off. I often bump into foxes when I am out and about and it has been helpful in …
It’s been a while since I posted about foxes. I mean it’s been at least two weeks! I’ve had a couple of encounters with the vulpes and their kits. So far there is no evidence of folks feeding them thank goodness. There are a lot of kits in this den and I’m not sure if there are two families …
This week I wanted to share some images of a fox that has been frequenting our neighbourhood. I’m pretty sure this is a male whose partner is currently raising a litter of pups in a nearby den. Unfortunately, one of the neighbours was hand-feeding this boy. I haven’t seen him around much of late so I hope that he has …
I have some fox pictures to share this week. There’s not a lot we haven’t explored about foxes here and many people are familiar with them because they are relatively harmless urban dwellers. Foxes have adapted incredibly well to the urban environment and to human activity. Much of their activity takes place in the evening and overnight, a time when …
