The days are finally getting longer again which means more daylight hours to hang out with the fox family. Spring fever has already started in spite of the cold temperatures. Foxes are marking their favourite spots in the hopes of leaving an in-scent-ive for a new mate. Some foxes are more interested in the dating game than others. Many are …
Happy Valentines Day to all you lovebirds, bird-lovers, and friends of the wild. With affection from your pal in Yellowknife.
Welcome back to Wildknife Photo. This week’s Sunday edition is all about ravens in winter. I’ve been in Yellowknife for 9 winters and one of the subjects I love photographing most during winter is ravens. When it gets to about -20ºC, ravens start to get a little frosty. The colder it gets outside, the frostier the ravens become. Not only …
I’m going to enjoy the last few days of winter holidays before the looooong stretch to spring break. here’s hoping that my fox pals will have time to hang out the next couple of months.
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has liked, commented and shared my work. It means a lot to have people interested in what I shared. I’m taking a break for the next few weeks and will be back with more stories in the new year. I’m starting off 2019 with a giveaway so …

Winter provides a fantastic opportunity to capture foxes in their majestic winter coats and observe mating behaviours. The family of foxes that I had a chance to …
Welcome back! This week’s Sunday edition tells the story of the ptarmigan. They are one tough bird. Last winter we had an explosion of ptarmigan. They were everywhere and it seemed as though you couldn’t walk or drive anywhere without finding a cluster of these little snowballs. That’s why it was so odd to come across this one by itself. …
Happy New Year to everyone! Thank you all for your support over the past year. I am grateful for all of your likes, comments and shares and hope that the upcoming year will provide more opportunities to share my love of wildlife. This week I wanted to share some images I took during the Audubon Society’s Annual Christmas Bird Count …

This week is the last story of 2017 and part two of the story we started December 17 all about black and white wildlife photography. In part one of this story we looked at how stripping away the colour from …
