Algonquin Park May 2023 – Pine Martens, Foxes and Hawks, Oh My!

It’s been a while since I have seen a fox but we saw this guy (above) twice in the same day, early morning and then later in the day. He was pretty cute! We stopped our truck and kept our distance but you could tell he was used to people. I am pretty confident people have been feeding them, in fact a car stopped ahead of us and a woman got out and knelt down with something in her hand as he came towards her. I can’t be certain what she had or what she was doing as we were well behind her. She then left and I got back in our truck and shut the door. He trotted down towards the truck and the last photo is one of him sitting outside the truck and I took the photo out of the window. So yeah I’m pretty sure people are feeding/baiting. This happened to a fox family that we used to see and photograph a few years ago. Click this link to read my post about that family and the tragedy that affected their little family.

The Old Fox Dies

We were also fortunate enough to see a little Pine Marten a few times. We only saw one but one is enough!

We did spot one hawk just outside the park, a Red Tailed Hawk

So that’s that for today……………..Trying to work on some more posts and go through some more photos. We were away again and just got back a couple of days ago. Always something to do!

Take care……………
