This week I’d like to introduce you to a family of foxes I met when camping in Fort Smith earlier this year. Most of the foxes I have the pleasure of photographing are urban critters, familiar with humans and I dare say many are even accustomed to us to the point that they have no fear. Of course, much of …
I finally found some fox kits! This year they seem to have been particularly elusive though that may be perhaps this litter was quite young. The younger the kits the more difficult it can be to photograph them as parents often chase them back into the den at the first sign of danger. I was fortunate to capture some …
We’re going to take a bit of a break from Cuban birds and get back to the snow and frost and beauty of the northern foxes. February and March are good months for fox photography as they sort of hang around the same place for a bit before heading off to set up their dens. Spending time with this particular …
Welcome back! This weeks Sunday edition is the second part of my favourite shots from 2018. I was fortunate to encounter a number of new species both furred and feathered during my photography outings last year. I spent a lot of time with foxes at least until they started denning in preparation for the birth of the next generation. It …
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 …
May long weekend was a fantastic weekend for wildlife. Not only did I spot a rare bird in the NWT but also finally got to meet the spring fox kits! The life of a wildlife photographer isn’t always that exciting but after a long winter it’s just great to get outside without mittens! This den is pretty famous in Yellowknife …
Happy Mother’s Day! I thought it might be fun to have a look at some wild moms (and dads) this week to celebrate the roller-coaster ride that is parenthood. It’s easy to love the eggs. They don’t talk, don’t need to be fed or chased down. You can abandon them for short periods of time without other moms judging. Once …
How long has it been since I posted photos of Yellowknife foxes? A few weeks at least! We had some beautiful (if intermittent) weather in April and I took full advantage to check in on the local foxes to see how they were making out after the long hard winter. It took a little bit of hanging about for the …
