Striped Skunk—Our Backyard—Waukesha, Wisconsin
We saw this visitor scavenging near our squirrel feeders.  At the same time, a raccoon came by and while both were quite aware of each other, they tolerated the situation and both fed.  This shot was taken through a glass patio door.  My 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens set at ISO 2000 and a patio spot light made this shot possible

Opossum—Our Back Yard, Waukesha, Wisconsin
One of our cats alerted us that something was outside our patio doors one night, so we looked, and found this guy checking out our bird and squirrel feeders

Red Fox—Dodge County, Iron Ridge, Wisconsin
On my way to Horicon Marsh, I saw this fox off Hwy 67 in Dodge County.  It saw it go into a small creek, it came out wet and ran across this field.  I whistled to get its attention, and then shot this frame

Ground Hog—Waukesha, Wisconsin
We see ground hogs (a.k.a. wood chucks) around town, so this evening I decided it was time that I capture one of them on film (or in my case, on a compact-flash card)

Muskrat—Jefferson, Wisconsin
A muskrat ( to the left of the den in the water) was mending its home.  Back in the 1970's when I was shooting 35mm film, I was hiking in the late winter months on a marsh, stalking another muskrat, and I fell through the ice.  I kept my camera dry, but I was a mess

Muskrat—Myrick Park—LaCrosse, Wisconsin
I believe this is also a muskrat.  I had seen it playing out in the marsh, and then without warning it surfaced right in front of me (I was on the shore - this is not cropped much)

Canada Goose & Western Painted Turtle—Myrick Park—LaCrosse, Wisconsin
I took a series of these shots. In each, the goose is standing on one foot (for the longest time) and it was hiding behind the clump of grass that was growing on that log - as if it were stalking the turtle.  After a while, it rested its head (which is when I took this shot). Nice reflections!

Desert Cottontail—Badlands Golf Course—Las Vegas, Nevada
Before attending a conference in Vegas, a few of us hit the golf course. I had my camera with me to record our event, but who could resist shooting a few extra shots (with the camera).  Look at the size of their back feet!

Magnolia Golf Course—Lake Buena Vista, Florida
The day before a conference, a few of us played a round of golf at the Walt Disney World®
Magnolia Golf Course, and though I didn't see any 'gators, I did find this Raccoon (who was wild, but still wanted our lunch)
