Great Egret preening.
Right next to Montreal's Technoparc, there's this conservation area called 'Le marais aux hérons' (Heron's marsh). In the summer, this tree covered wetland is visited by all kinds of birds that come there to feed or rest. After spending the morning fishing, this Great Egret took the time for preening itself. As it spreads its wings one after another, the afternoon sun piercing through the dense foliage, lights the white feathers as a fan in counter daylight. Sony A7R II, tele-lens 200-600mm, 1/1000 sec, f/13, ISO 800.
Red Fox hunting.
This Red Fox has settled its quarters inside the Montreal Botanical Garden, I went there 3 times but did not see it. On the fourth time, I was lucky to see it from far away. It was prowling near the bird feeders, waiting for the opportunity to catch one of the squirrels. The snow cover around there was quite thick, the fox crawled, half sunk in the snow. It was quite dramatic. After it successfully caught the rodent, it licked its muzzle, anticipating the lunch it's got. Sony A7R IV, tele-lens 70-300mm, 1/640sec, f/13, ISO 2500.

Red Fox tracking prey.
Mid-January, after a few late snowfalls, Montreal Botanical Garden is covered in snow. The Red Fox has ventured out of its den and is tracking prey, possibly a squirrel, across the frozen ponds area. It's notorious among visitors that this predator has its quarters in this location. Bordering trees allow me to be unnoticed, or is it used to human presence? I captured this shot with the Sony A7R IV and the 70-300mm tele-lens. Shutter speed 1/400sec, aperture at f/9, ISO 1250.
