Fynn grooming himself is a rather rare event. Both boy cats seem to think that grooming them is my job and that cleanliness is generally overrated. Even THE BIRDS couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Today I'm starting a winter wildlife photo set, all mammals. The species that can survive our northern prairie winters are relatively few, and not many of them are birds. Some of the mammals - prairie dogs, ground squirrels - go underground to sleep away the winter. Others, including badgers, become torpid in their dens to save energy. As I'm not going to try crawling into a badger's den, we'll just be looking at a few species that remain active throughout the winter.

What may surprise some who follow my "stream" is that most of the dozen images, including this, were obtained on foot, not from the rolling red Toyota blind. I lay flat on the snow to photograph this Nuttall's Cottontail, and it went about its grooming without seeming disturbed. That is the key. To learn how to spend time with animals while not appearing threatening in any way.

Even though I have hundreds or even thousands of shots of these critters, every encounter was a thrill for me - a moment when whatever I tried... worked. There's no better feeling.

Can you see the similarity with the human hands ?

BTW; yesterday a bull elephant seal was found dead on the beach; an apparent shark attack victim.

I am beyond fortunate to have these Cooper's showing up multiple times a day right behind my house. I have learned so much about their behavior and temperament. Yesterday I was able to watch this one for over two hours, and this was caught during their grooming ritual.

I was practicing with my external flash and caught Ansel as he was waking up from a nap - I just liked the detail in his tongue ...and yes a cat's tongue feels like sandpaper ... now we know why :)

The groom. Unposed, grabbed shot. Looking like he has the lead part in Rob Roy instead of Liam Neeson. Rob Roy ...one of my favourite movies www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh2DKNNMn5s
