  • A close-up image of the very rare Cascade Red Fox, a subspecies found in the alpine and subalpine regions of many of the volcanic mountains of the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest. This beautiful subspecies is often nearly all black with silver or gray, and once flourished over much of Northwestern North America and is facing increasing pressure from climate change, invasive species like coyotes and humans, high-elevation logging and winter recreation sports such as snowmobiling and skiing. Not long before I got this shot, I spent part of a previous evening watching two pure-black kits (baby foxes) stalking and pouncing on each other in the snow in pure delight up in near the tree line on Mount Rainier.

    Red Fox
  • A red fox that was seen trotting through the snow about a third of the way up the Mount Rainier in Washington State. Even in May, this one still had most of it's winter coat.

  • Although common all over North America, on rare occasions, you might encounter a very strange-looking raccoon with a very unusual coloration. Sometimes a red raccoon or even a blond raccoon is found when you least expect it, and even more rare is the albino raccoon! While all of them are still the same species, just some win the gene lottery for uniqueness! This red raccoon had a coloration more similar to a red fox, and was heard long before it was seen wading noisily through the Corkscrew Swamp in Southwest Florida as it was catching crayfish and devouring them on the spot. Paying little attention to me, it just kept moving and foraging until the splashing and lip-smacking faded in the distance.

  • A beautifully-colored fox squirrel with reddish fur searches for seeds and nuts on a late winter day in the Lower Rio Grande Valley near Weslaco, Texas. Common all over the Eastern United States, Northern Mexico, and some of the Canadian provinces such as Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, this is the largest squirrel species in North America and can vary wildly in coloration from silvery-gray, reddish brown, jet black and sometimes white leucistic (not albino) ones can be found such as one group in Tallahassee, Florida.
