Photographed in June of this year, a baby red fox, or kit is seen here peeking out of his/her underground den. These little red foxes are (in my book anyway) one of the cutest animals alive, possibly too cute, if thats possible…. Last year there...
June 30th I photographed this great grey owl in flight in southern Alberta Canada as it flew out of the darkness of the forest into a small beam of light. I usually see them in the winter, I had no idea that these birds of prey stayed in this area year...

Recent in-flight photos of one of my favorite owls, the great gray owl, photographed north west of Calgary, Alberta, Canada! These birds of prey are amazing looking owls, and can be seen year year round as they are residence in this location. The evening...
When I first saw the Swainsons hawk, these amazing birds of prey two years ago I was amazed at the colors of the adult male birds. Being originally from the east, the Toronto area I had never seen a Swainson’s hawk before so for me, a raptor fanatic...
