Breeding period... singing, dancing, and loving.

#EarlyTrespassing

Yesterday morning wasn't the right time, neither the right moment to trespass a Coyote territory.

At first sight we've been clearly spotted by this couple of Coyote. Usually they don't care much about humans as long as we're not trespassing their territories in the middle of their breeding season; unfortunately we're just at the beginning of it. Like most wild animals, Coyotes can be easily offended during this time and by any means necessary, will protect their family as well as their hunting territories on which they count on to feed their youngsters. The female seems relatively calm but still cautious of our presence contrary to the male who was agitated, noisy, and didn't seem to be in a mood to socialize with us.

Sure the fact that we suprised them didn't help the situation. So slowly we decided to leave this area going, backwards.

#Dark-eyed Junco

As the end of April approaches, this beautiful blizzard of Snowbirds is about to leave our area to the Grand North regions. It still amazes me that for such a small and fragile species most of them choose to go to their winter range origin, in cold temperature, to breed.

#ShortTailedWeasel

Ermine, Stoat or Short-tailed Weasel (Mustela erminea) in its winter coat...

She's the one who has been having fun stealing Jack's (The Raven) meat, for a long time. I've been trying to capture her for about 3 years on my camera and finaly succeeded last Thurday during the snow storm when power was down.

I'm very proud… she's an adorable one.

Yeah, I'm still here… somewhere into the Mountainous Parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

But I simply don't give a fuck anymore about…
