Red Fox - my favourite animal. December 2016

Spend 3 days up in Algonquin with Sheila.  We saw 2 bull moose crossing road plus one gorgeous fox.  Enjoy the series of shots of him with snow covered face.

Love this

The trees were loaded with snow.  Most roads into the park were snow covered and not worth taking a risk of driving them.

Such a beautiful face

Snow was appr. 2 feet deep in places

Running through snow. 

Appears to have a wound on the side of body. Looked old and healed.

Love the stance

Hard work running and walking in snow

Snow moving with his foot

Plowing the snow with nose

What a face

Red Fox loves to climb. Dec 2016

Talking to friends when he came charging at a squirrel.

Christine Wiznuk took these two shots of the fox and me. Love this sequence shots.   He was walking around then suddenly

up the tree he jumped then climbed.  Squirrels were up there.

check out his paws.

Then away he ran back to the bluffs.

Oever the past few week I have seen foxes at my house, down the road, and at friends places in the am.  Loving this opportunity to watch the behaviour

Missed him again. Up the tree when the prey

Love this position.  Lighting changed then dull again.

Thinking about his missed snack

Long Eared Owl resting Dec 2016

What a beautiful owl.  It was resting in the woods when a downy woodpecker woke him up.

It was the best 15 min all day

Red Fox on the prowl. Dec 2016

Stalking his prey.  At Shirleys he layed down to watch the squirrels.  When he was ready he was gone in a flash.  No luck this time.
