"LAZING ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON" Coyote (4 Photos) I was fortunate to catch this gorgeous coyote sunning itself in the afternoon, all decked out in its winter finery. (Photo #1). It must have had a great morning of successful hunting. Perhaps, I have been lucky in that in all the encounters with coyotes, (touch wood), I have never experienced eith...

"FROZEN" White Tailed Jackrabbit It appears I may have caught this rabbit mid-chew, when it completely froze as its defense. "Stay perfectly still. Absolutely still. We are one with the landscape." - NOT!

Photo of the Week - Dec 2, 2018 - "ICE FISHING" - American Mink

December 02, 2018 • 1 Comment

"ICE FISHING" American Mink (4 Photos) Having spotted the "little fisherman" on the ice, it paused, dived in and amazingly came up with a good size fish. One may think it is relatively easy to spot a brown mink on white ice but there are a lot of those annoying stones frozen into that surface that have similar colours and shapes. This little mi...

"WHISKERS" American Mink (3 Photos) At the end of a very long walk, saw two bumps on the creek ice, one of which turned out to be this cute little mink. (Got that "oops - busted" look!) It had obviously been in the open water, hunting, but for anyone who has experienced cold temperatures - don't you just hate it when you get that frosted look on...

"FIELD OF DREAMS" Coyote (2 Photos) The coyote had already grabbed a small pheasant from this year's brood and was out looking for further prey. It took the short cut across the ice (Photo #2) but it was the shot taken just before it entered a small gap in the rushes surrounding the pond that intrigued me. Once it passed through the rushes, the...

November 24, 2018 • Leave a Comment

"I'M A LITTLE MUSKRAT, SHORT & STOUT" Muskrat (3 Photos) A little variation, here, on the "Little Teapot" rhyme: "I'm a little muskrat, short & stout; Here is my handle, here is my snout!" Thought about going with a lyric from the movie, "Wizard of Oz", with all those little muskrats being eaten by Great Blue Herons. "DING, DONG, THE HERON...

"SNEAK A PEAK" Long Tailed Weasel (3 Photos) NOTE: Some individuals may find the following somewhat disturbing. It was the growl that first alerted me. l thought I finally might have an opportunity to catch a shot of that elusive Bobcat. A few steps in and I still couldn't really see what was. All that was visible was a jack rabbit (I believe)...
