These images capture quiet moments of wildlife on a cold New Brunswick winter day, photographed in the Tripp Settlement, Keswick Ridge NB area on January 1, 2026. A lone white-tailed deer moves gracefully through a snow-covered orchard, weaving between bare trees as fresh snow softens the landscape. Its calm, steady movement reflects the stillness of winter and the quiet resilience of wildlife adapting to the season.
The series continues in an open, harvested field where wild turkeys stand in sharp contrast against the snow. Their dark, textured plumage and alert postures highlight both strength and awareness as they forage among the corn stubble. In the wider scene, a small flock spreads out near the forest edge, illustrating how these birds rely on open farmland for food while staying close to the shelter of the woods.
Together, these photographs tell a simple winter story—one of movement, survival, and balance—showcasing the natural beauty and everyday wildlife of rural New Brunswick in the heart of winter.
