Wild in TO
A slightly disappointed Barred Owl searching for a Vole that caught its eye from up in its perch.
Graceful flyer and important member of natures clean up crew.
Light camera action! The the wonderful “golden hour”, which happens just after sunrise and the just before sunset…
It makes for the most flattering images not only for wildlife but practically everything else:)
Coywolf!
Waited 2 hours for her to move…The vitamin D was worth it:)
The presence of native species and bio diversity allows systems and food chains to function properly as nature intended… As important it is in the wild its equally needed in our urban environments…Super important for wildlife lovers too ;)
Amazing example of wild animal world coexisting with humans in an urban environment… They mostly roam around at at dusk and night like urban ghosts.
Unfortunately for the Voles (field mice) the Short Eared Owls are superb hunters. AKA as raptors. The word “raptor” is based on Latin words referring to seizing or plundering…They absolutely wear this badge with pride.
