We went for a drive this morning and I dragged along my big canon rebel, you know, just in case. It was such a thrill to see a hare, a wolverine, which is part of the weasel family, and a tree full of red polls. I wasn’t able to capture the rabbit, it was just too quick and the photos of the birds are not the best. However, I wanted to share a few I managed to capture of the wolverine.
As you can see we’ve had a bit of snow already in these parts. Here in town it’s pretty much gone again, but these were taken outside the city where there was a bit more. I am not looking forward to winter, but maybe with a bit of luck I will get snow shoes so I can walk the trails more easily. If it means catching sight of the local wildlife, I’m willing to brave the cold.

I thought wolverine was a cool name for an XMen…thank you for sharing Carol. So lucky you saw it in person and getting a photo of it.

Yes and they can be ferocious, luckily this animal wasn’t interested in us at all, it was on the hunt for a meal, I think.

Awesome pictures! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wolverine before. I still can’t get over how much snow you have already!

It’s all gone in the city but not outside the city. And thanks so much. It was a real thrill to see him. It’s always a thrill to see wildlife of any kind.

I have always thought snow shoes would be cool. I might need them if I am going to keep walking with Kat through this winter.

Winter is the safest time to walk alone on the nature trails here as the bears are hibernating then. We are fortunate to have many groomed trails through the woods. Snow shoes would be a definite asset. 🙂

That is funny – you have groomed trails in Fort Mac and here in Regina our streets are barely passable for five months of the year🤦

Oh the streets can be horrendous. LOL The trails are well kept due to the diligence of the ski club, no thanks to the municipality. LOL

Wolverines aren’t really mean
They’re just hangry, it would seem.
