Coyote Visit

While photographing the Long-Tailed Weasel in yesterday's post, I was joined by a fellow weasel enthusiast. We all just sat together amidst the fields, keeping a watchful distance from each other, until the Coyote settled in for a mid-afternoon snooze.

Tiny Sociopath

Few things in wildlife make me happier than spending an afternoon in a field watching the tiny murder machines more commonly known as weasels pop in and out of their holes.

Breakers at Pt Reyes

Pt Reyes National Seashore. The north shore of this scenic area has some of the larger waves in the area as it is unprotected as the waves roll in off of the pacific. I really love this part of Northern California as the park is a protected wildlife refuge and a National Seashore. It is truly a treasure for the America just an hour north of San Francisco

Gray Fox

Normally a photo this busy might not even survive my initial cull. But, this is my first time ever getting a portrait of a Gray Fox, so it stays.

Rainy Day Hunt

I rarely see Bobcats in the rain. The only other time I saw it, the poor cat was absolutely drenched as it headed towards cover. This time, there was a light drizzle the day after an absolute downpour. The Bobcat was out putting up with a stiff wind and light drizzle, probably making up for time lost to the previous day's storm.
