    [June 18, 2022; Churchill, Manitoba on Hudson Bay] I didn’t take many creative photos on this trip, but this scene caught my eye; a Semipalmated Plover against spruces and sunrise sun blobs. (A video of my experiences on the tundra around Churchill will be coming soon to my YouTube channel “Sparky Stensaas“) [Canon R5 with Canon 100-500mm lens; 1/500 second at f8; ISO 1600; handheld] #Churchill #churchillmanitoba #tundra #tundrabirds #manitobawildlife #thephotonaturalist #sparkystensaas #canonr5wildlife #birds #birdsofinstagram #birdsofcanada #semipalmatedplover #beautyofbirds #best_birds_of_instagram
    [June 19, 2022; Churchill, Manitoba on Hudson] Of course I was hoping to have an Arctic Fox experience on the tundra, but the odds were slim; an outbreak of rabies last winter forced government officials to eliminate most Arctic Fox around the town of Churchill. But this beautiful vixen fox made up for it. She Had to half grown pups in a nearby den and so was keeping a close eye on me. I will have a lot more photos of this stunning creature in the next few weeks.

    [June 18, 2022; Churchill on Hudson Bay] The tides are pretty extreme on Hudson Bay…up to 15 feet I believe…which stranded some big ice floes.

    [June 17, 2022] just returned from Churchill Manitoba on Hudson Bay. Incredible birds and mammal photography trip. My third trip up there. More posts coming!
    [May 2022 east central Wisconsin] You could hold this "adorbs" Red Fox pup (kit?) in the palm of your hand. That's how small she was. Thanks to the wild-land firefighter who flagged me down and pointed out the den that I had just driven past. I appreciate it! Embarrassed that I missed them. Two pups but a couple days later @ryan.marshik saw four pups at the den site.
