They normally stay hidden under the snow so this is really neat.
The birds are messy eaters.
I'm hoping a boreal owl gets wind of the abundance and takes up residence in my yard, though I don't want them all to get caught. They're too cute. I'm glad they don't often try to get into houses.
I managed 0.0011 after 2 tries. There are a couple of colours that are harder than others.
I know, right?!
That's really interesting. I didn't realize they got less colourful over time.
I'm having way too much fun trying to record my little furry friends. There are 3 red-backed voles now, so I've cleaned up a bit in the hopes that three is all I'll get. They're cute, but I don't want it to get out of hand. Sorry for the focus - they're hard to follow and too close for AF. #mammals
Wowza!
Thanks, Janet. Chances are low, but you never know.
Funnily enough, I’m already working on an image similar to that. If I had more free time, it would be a fun project, but I’m pretty heavily booked right now.
Always fun to see their prints.
Thanks. It’s exciting for me too. They are rarely seen, though I did have one come up my driveway last year.
There’s a lynx in the neighbourhood. Hoping I get to see it at some point.
That’s so cool!
I live in Manitoba.
Nice! I was really hoping for clear skies.
We got an #aurora alert tonight, but it's cloudy. So instead, I'm going through my photos from this time last week when the skies were alive. I won't be forgetting this night any time soon. #NorthernLights
Thanks :) I was very much in love with the sky colours.
An interesting view of Hudson Bay. This is a lead that opened up not too far out from the shore near Churchill, Manitoba. It expands and contracts with the winds and tides.
What a gorgeous photo!
Me too :)
I can totally understand the impulse ☺️
What an amazing bird!
They are the borbs of mammals :)
I was so excited to see them again :)
My little buddy was back this morning cleaning up the leftovers.
This little red backed vole is so adorable. #mammals 🌿
I’m very sorry for laughing Raven 😆 I’m sure the little guy appreciated your nurturing. 😉
Oh, Raven. I’m always around for your wildlife ID needs. 😉☺️
I’m sure we can share. Send a few back. 😊
