Hidden in the Hollows (THE RED FOX)
Wildlife Photography by Keith Dennis Brewer
Hidden quietly among the tangled brush and rocky stream bed of the New Brunswick wilderness, this striking image captures a red fox moving carefully through its natural habitat. Framed between two towering trees, the fox appears alert and cautious, blending almost perfectly into the earthy colors of the forest floor. The photograph creates a feeling of discovery — as though the viewer has caught a rare glimpse into a secret world deep within the woods.
The red fox is one of Canada’s most intelligent and adaptable wild animals. Recognized by its vivid reddish-orange coat, pointed ears, and sharp eyes, the fox survives in forests, farmland, and remote backwoods throughout New Brunswick. These animals are skilled hunters, feeding on mice, birds, frogs, insects, and berries depending on the season.
Red foxes are usually solitary creatures, most active during the quiet hours of dawn and dusk. Their excellent hearing allows them to detect even the slightest movement beneath leaves, brush, or snow. Though often shy around humans, foxes are curious and highly resourceful, making them one of the most fascinating predators of the Canadian wilderness.
This photograph beautifully captures the hidden spirit of the backwoods — wild, watchful, and untouched.
