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! I’ve had a lot of luck finding ptarmigan this year which means that their numbers are likely on the upswing of their population cycle. Last year I had a hard time finding any so I’m happy to see the little snow chickens return. No one has ever claimed that ptarmigan are the smartest birds in the avian world however …
Welcome! This week I have more images of that gorgeous wolverine I spotted last weekend. I have had some incredible moments with wildlife but this one was definitely a highlight! I think mostly because I was not expecting to see a wolverine when I went out looking for ptarmigan. And also because I was ridiculously close to this beautiful creature …
Happy Easter! What luck that I happened across this little hare on Good Friday. I only managed a few images before this little one disappeared into the bush. I followed the trail after this bunny vanished but there were no eggs to be found!
Hello and welcome back. This week I have some great images of a porcupine with whom I spent some time last weekend. I was checking on a nest box and as I was returning to my truck I saw a large fuzzy rock wiggling on a nearby hillside. I grabbed the binoculars thinking that maybe this was the same porcupine …
Hello and welcome back! I hope that the new format isn’t too big of a change. It was getting very difficult to create new posts in a space the size of a postage stamp. After much frustration I decided to write my content on my website where I have lost of room to read over my post and review the …
It’s February and the foxes have been getting back to business. Last month I had a few glimpses of foxes but this month they seem to be everywhere. I hope this means there will be plenty of kits come spring! I love to photograph foxes in the winter. The light, when it’s sunny, is beautiful and the contrast of …
This week I have some fun photos of snow buntings. It’s been a while since I had such a wonderful up-close photo session with these toasty little birds. They are quite chatty little things buzzing and twittering and chirping cheerily amongst themselves. It is one of the happiest sounds I know. I recently had some snow buntings in my …
This week I wanted to share a few images of this curious and brave fox that I have spent some time photographing over the winter. This is one of a pair that may be siblings or may be planning to start a family… only time will tell! While I was photographing this fox, it came within 6 feet of me. …
This week I wanted to share some cool facts that I learned about Redpolls. I have had about 24 Redpolls hanging out at my bird feeder for the past month or so. They are sharing the seeds with a handful of house sparrows who normally have the feeder all to themselves for most of the winter. Redpolls are pretty, …
