A few wild animal photos from Alberta

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

I thought that I would join @oldtimer in sharing some photos of Alberta's wildlife. I have to admit I don't seem to have very many wildlife photos as wild animals often don't stick around to have their photo taken. I seem to have a lot of birds too so those will have to be in a separate post another time.

Starting small with a chipmunk and a bunny in Canmore:

Next up some Big Horned sheep in Banff. Big Horned Sheep are a fairly common sight in both Jasper and Banff. I have also come across them around Grande Cache area.

While we were camping we saw this mule deer buck hanging out near the woodshed:

Some other Mule Deer also in the same area:

A fawn we saw near camp:

Some Moose in a field near where we live:

And of course some Elk in Jasper. Elk are found in many areas around where I am but the ones in Jasper are used to people and don't spook very easy.

I have come across more elk, deer and bears while driving around the area that I live but alas no photos from those sightings.

Feel free to upvote, resteem and comment - all are very much appreciated.

Awesome! I have never seen big horned sheep yet. Hopefully soon :)

Thanks for stopping in! I hope you get to see a big horned sheep soon!

The Chipmunk is so cute. Are you a hunter?
Beautiful photos, thank you!

Looks pretty awesome @abnortherngal, thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks for checking out my post!

post. Nice blog! Subscribed@abnortherngal. Fantastic! What do you think about Natural fur coats?. This is my opinion

Thanks @shaya. I will have a look at your post.

Your wildlife animals are so different to ours in Australia @abnortherngal. Love the chipmunk and the close up of the fawn especially. All beautifully photographed.
