Blue Fox

This cute little Bleu Fox was shot several years ago in St. Paul, Alaska. It is a subspecies of Artic Fox (Vulpes pribilofensis) referred to as Blue because in its dark phase it sometimes looks bluish. We saw one or two touring around the island but a friend and I regularly saw them behind Trident Seafoods, where they no doubt were sometimes able to score some scraps. During my visit Trident was packaging halibut, by the thousands. It was in their cafeteria where we had our meals which were always delicious. There was always halibut available too! I went with a guide to St. Paul but there are local guides there and if I go again, I’ll make arrangements with one of them. Besides the fox, there are many species of birds, some of which can only be found in areas this remote. We photographed several species of auklet, seabirds and songbirds but my favorite subject was the fox. (Canon 1DX, 600mm lens, f/4, 1/1000 second, ISO 320)

 

If you want to check out any of the timelapses or videos I’ve been posting, they can only be seen on social media. I post the same content to all three sites but my favorite is Flickr, which downsizes the images the least.
