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 …
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 hope you are all feeling invigorated by a shift in the world political arena. I know that I am feeling lighter today after a stressful week of anticipation. Sleep has returned in earnest here so I thought it would be fitting to share a post about napping. Foxes are one wild creature that has mastered the art of …
Yellowknife is surrounded on three sides by the massive boreal forest, a nursery for migratory birds and wildlife that spans the country. Most of the forest surrounding Yellowknife is intact which makes Yellowknife a great destination for any wildlife enthusiast.

Right now I am working at collecting short clips between …

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 …
Bears have always been one of my favourite animals. I can’t remember the first time I ever saw a bear but I do remember bear sightings were really rare. For the most part bears are shy and not interested in anything except food. Unfortunately, humans are not as diligent as they could be when it comes to securing attractants. Bears …
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 Sunday! Last Sunday I showed you a a few shots of animals in love, or lust maybe! One of the animals that I love to photograph is foxes. (As if that wasn’t already obvious.) This is a story about a den in the middle of downtown. I’m not sure if it’s still being used but I guess we’ll find …
