Sundays critters.

Master of disguise. I will never be seen behind these trees.

Yeah, alright, I guess I am not so sneaky after all.

and a few birdies.

Oh so brave when no guns are around.

[Steve Foss]

Very nice work, Jason!

[MN Shutterbug]

Whatever.

As soon as I email Jay about the bog, he goes out and shoots these. I think I need to kick his butt into gear more often. Great shots, with the first being my fave.

I love the fox photos. Nice work!

[Deitz Dittrich]

that first one may be in my top 10 of all time on FM.. fantastic!!!!!

[Birdsong]

These are so beautiful. The first is priceless.

[Jim Almquist]

That first shot is just awesome Jay. What a great capture on such a perfect day. Glad to see are Owls buddies are starting to show up in the bog.

[JayinMN]

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Jim, the hawk owl was over in Lake County on 16 a few miles east of Stoney River Rd. I have not seen any in the bog yet. I am sure if one looked though they could find one there since they are popping up all over the place. I did see a GGO in the bog on my way home last night. Too dark to shoot it though.

Looks like I might have to take a little trip next weekend

I have 2 rib cages already and thought I might just run one up to the feeder if you have not put one out yet. I had given thought to finding another spot that would provide a little different background so it would mix up the shots a little bit but that will wait till after rifle season.

[JayinMN]

I have been looking for a male spruce grouse with no luck. I might have to hire Steve or Ken to guide me...

Check your email. I have an idea on another spot. I only have 2 rib cages so far.

Very nice work Jason! I do like that second fox, really nice lighting and pose.

[ShawnZ]

Beautiful images, love the grouse image in particular, but all are excellent.

[upnorth]

Nice shots. You don't get pics like that of a fox every day.

[CFRay]

Very Very Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jim Almquist]

Love the pose on your second NHO

[finnbay]

Great shots, Jason! Really like that second fox!

[MARINERMAGNUM]

What is the deal with the fox? Are they tame up there or what?

Nice job!

[dockothebay]

Really neat shots Jay - the first fox takes the "cutie" award and the lighting on the second is really, really nice! The others are nothing to sneeze at either!

[umichjesse]

I love your fox pics

[Catmendo]

Excellent work J!

[mcary]

Great shots Jay!

[Nymph]

Great shots, Jay! I especially like that second fox shot.... is that the same fox you found earlier this year?

No, I have never seen this fox before, it snuck up on me while I was shooting some eagles. The previous ones I posted this summer I got from the Gunflint Trail, the Sax-Zim bog, a few from Finland/Isabella area and a den site near my house in Hibbing. Fox seem to be really abundant this year.
