Photography

edited, finished
edited, finished

As a photographer, I introduce and keep people in touch with the wild places and animals that share this world. In that spirit, if you feel drawn to one or more of my images, I would love to share them with you. If you are a fellow artist who would like to reference one of my images for your own work, I would gladly grant you permission for this. In either case, the photos posted here are only a fraction of my entire portfolio. If you would like to license, purchase, or inquire about an image please contact me.

This mother fisher of three kits recently moved dens, going from a large sugar maple (34.5 inches dbh) to the snag behind her in the photo. Fishers require mature forests for hunting and particularly denning opportunities. Large, old trees offer the best chances for cavity dependent species, like fishers, to find enough den and rest sites. These are some of the criteria female fishers use to select den sites:

- a cavity opening 2-4 inches wide by a minimum of 3 inches tall (prevents larger animals, like raccoons, from entering)
- minimum tree diameter of 14 inch, often prefer larger
- more than one potential den site within a few hundred meters of each other, sometimes within a half mile
- an area of low human activity

Taken using the silent shutter mode on a Nikon Z7ii, without flashes, and a @camtraptions PIR v4 sensor. This was intentional, in order to minimize the disturbance to her.
This uncollared female fisher visited the den site This uncollared female fisher visited the den site of our collared female fisher F12, yesterday morning. This pedal marking behavior is typical among otters, though with less of a spring in their step, but I have never heard or read of fishers marking in this manner. To me, this feels like a more aggressive scent marking behavior, and it leads me to wonder whether this is a territorial dispute of sorts.

It's a big scary world out there for one little ca It's a big scary world out there for one little cat...

This young adult bobcat, likely just about a year old, cautiously walked up my driveway and around my house this morning. Likely concerned about the resident adult bobcat and other big scary things, like people, they were noticeably more alert than the resident cat that confidently strode by my backdoor just two weeks ago. I wish this little guy or gal the best of luck!

Please remember that we should not approach every animal that we find. We need to respect wild animals and their space. In this instance, I was able to use the wind and terrain to respectfully watch this bear from a distance.
