I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't care if you love coyotes or hate them, they are beautiful animals. Pictures taken October 13 2025, Calgary. #Calgary #Alberta #wildlife #nature #photography

Interesting shoot today. Several whitetail bucks chasing the females, but also a couple of pairs of coyotes hunting the deer. Notice the coyote stalking in the upper background of this shot. Picture taken October 13 2025, Calgary. #Calgary #Alberta #nature #wildlife #photography

Not long. There was about a hundred or more of these that landed in the trees near where I was photographing. Got tons of shots. The difficult part was deciding where to shoot as there was so many of them. Then they all flew off at once. They were there for about 20 minutes or so.

I've said it before and I will say it again, there is nothing common about the common grackle. Beautiful bird. Pictures taken September 7 2025, Calgary. #birds #Calgary #Alberta #nature #wildlife #photography

Had one goal today, to get some decent whitetail fawn shots. Raining, and the mosquitos were eating me alive, but I suffer for my craft. Goal achieved :) Picture taken July 20 2025, Calgary. #Calgary #Alberta #nature #wildlife
