A ray of sunshine hits a Barred Owl as it sits on a pine tree. The background colours are warm from the fall colours. The owl is illuminated from the sun hitting it, while other areas in the photo are in full shade.

I was lucky enough to spot this Fisher last week.

As is the case photographing these guys, I had about two seconds to get a shot off before it disappeared into the woods for good. Not a lot of time to compose or get low haha. Take what you can get! #wildlife #photography #fisher #mammal #nature

A fisher stands along a slight slope showing off its left side. It is looking ahead.

A Belted Kingfisher turns its head to the left side of the photo. It is perched on a branch. Its mouth is wide open and a small feather is stuck in its beak from preening. The background is green/yellow and out of focus.

Was fun watching this red fox hunt an open field last night. The youngster popped its head up just long enough to grab this photo.
