When the beauty of nature takes my breathe away…

A Fox Monet?

Big Boy hunting for Voles…

That “look”…

Clear the path. Moving through! Hungry little mouths to feed…

I was so fortunate to be able to watch this mom move all 5 of her babies from one home, to a new safer space. A few onlookers stopped people with their dogs on either side, for her to safely cross the path.

Taking her baby to a safer location…

To a safer place…

This youngster was watching and learning about the world, from a backyard tree.

Two siblings look on as big sister is the first to branch from the nest.

Always alert, and on the lookout…

The woods are beautiful with fresh snow, and the sun rising through the trees…

Three Fledglings. Made my summer to see all three of these little ones survive, and go out on their own…

Simply known as “Rusty”….

These Owls, more than any, in my experience, need their space. Please if you see one, don’t get close…Let them rest.

Snapping Turtle Hatchling making it’s way to the pond.

Looking for that sunny spot…

A rare moment, being able to photograph a Hummingbird staying still.

I put this one on my wish list every Spring migration.

Enjoying the warmth of the sunrise…

What usually appears to be a plain black bird, this Grackle is really showing off some colour in the rain.

The intense gaze….

The hunter….

I sat so still, and for so long, that this little guy walked right under my dangling feet. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get that close to one again.

The Queen’s guard?

Do you think there is a Merganser salon? Looking beautiful Ms. Merganser…
