"HOW MUCH WOOD DOES A WOODCHUCK CHUCK" Porcupine (North American) - 5 Photos Apologies for the delay in posting. One of those computer software upgrades which required a subsequent upgrade to correct the glitch. A woodchuck is supposedly a type of ground squirrel but in this instance, that old tongue twister came to mind while watching the porc...

"DO PORCUPINES SLEEP ON QUILLOWS?" - Porcupine (North American)

"DO PORCUPINES SLEEP ON QUILLOWS?" Porcupine (North American) - 2 Photos A day that went from bright blue sunny skies (which is probably why this porcupine climbed into a tree to sun itself) to an overcast haze with still mild temperatures. Each animal in the wild provides its own challenges to photograph and capture its unique attributes. Porc...

Photo of the Week - Dec 15, 2019 - "IF WISHES WERE FISHES" - Mink (North American)

December 14, 2019 • 1 Comment

"IF WISHES WERE FISHES" Mink (North American) - 4 Photos Well it looks like this little mink caught its Christmas wish early. In this instance, it definitely has its mouth full. Can't get over that the fish is bigger than the mink's head (Photo #4). In this case, however, I don't think the mink's eyes are bigger than its stomach. Fish on, little m...

"REGAL EAGLE" American Bald Eagle - 7 Photos Was fortunate to spot one adult American Bald Eagle and two youngsters in one tree. One would assume this would be the two offspring of the adult as they were all hanging out together very amicably. Did not have an opportunity to grab a shot of all three (one of the disadvantages of the long lens) bu...

"THE FISHING HOLE" Mink (North American) - 5 Photos As promised, here is the mink again. A star in its own right but to have an opportunity to witness its fishing prowess - totally amazing. Unlike the photo on the December 7th, 2019 blog, the weather had changed from sunny & clear blue skies to bleak, overcast with snow in the air & a cold nort...

"GOT MILK - SORRY THAT'S GOT MINK!" - Mink (North American)

December 07, 2019 • 1 Comment

"GOT MILK - SORRY THAT'S GOT MINK" Mink (North American) Although this mink appears to be quite relaxed and bathing in the sunshine, it had actually paused and was keeping a close eye (and ears) on a magpie that was hanging around in a tree close by. For once, this busy little member of the mustelid family presented an opportunity which would s...

"LOOKIN' FOR LOVE" White Tailed Deer (Male) - 4 Photos Now here's a lip curl that would rival Elvis's! With that amount of scenting, there must have been a female close by. Shortly thereafter, a young doe popped out of the underbrush. Breeding season must be fast approaching. And what a handsome fellow! ("Thank you - thank you very much!") P...

November 24, 2019 • 2 Comments

"SECRETIVE PORCUPINE ANATOMY" Porcupine - 4 Photos One of the blessings of wildlife photography is to give you an up close view of an animal's anatomy that you may not generally see (or not safely see!). Here are four photos showing some aspects of porcupines that one may never see. PHOTO #1 - "What Lies Beneath" - You wouldn't want to be stand...
