Prince Edward Island Foxes: A 10-Year Retrospect

For the past decade, I’ve often turned my lens to the beautiful red fox (Vulpes vuples), the icon of what is affectionately known as the “Red Island”.

Here on Prince Edward Island, we don’t have most of the “big” wildlife that other Canadians know and love, including moose, deer, bison, wolves, elk, caribou, and so on. Our wildlife tends to be understated in size….but that’s no slight to its beauty. I can’t think of a more beautiful creature than the red fox, and we are fortunate enough to have a strong population of these fascinating creatures (even though mange has taken a horrible toll over the past 4-5 years).

My own anecdotal experience is that the red foxes of the Island seem to be bouncing back, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Here are 50 or images of these incredibly photogenic creatures, photographed on Prince Edward Island over the past decade. I hope you enjoy.
