Every year Wayne Lewis, Editor/Art Director of the Colorado Outdoors Magazine produces a photo issue highlighting really neat images of wildlife in Colorado. The issue came out and I was fortunate enough to have several images published. Here are a couple quick iPhone snapshots of the magazine. In the first image of the magazine I shot the full page whitetail deer and the 1/4 page mountain goat looking into the spotting scope. In the second image of the magazine I shot the sunrise mule deer image. Great magazine if you would like to subscribe click here.

Spring is time for baby wildlife!

May 21, 2009 No Comments by Michael Mauro

Every year I look forward to May and early June. A time when the Colorado comes alive again…the brown of winter gives way to the green of spring. From the urban greenbelts near my studio in west metro Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park baby wildlife can be found just about everywhere. One of my favorite places is a fairly large green belt about 4 miles away where I am almost guarenteed to find baby foxes. The area is frequented by joggers, walkers, bikers, and birdwatchers which have made the foxes fairly accustomed to people so getting close enough with my 500mm lens is fairly easy.
Just so you know I never approach the fox dens directly and I always try to maintain a twenty to forty yard buffer so that the foxes still have a comfort zone and act natural. From this distance I’m always treated to some pretty exciting antics as the young foxes run around testing and learning their much needed life skills. Some of my other favorite spring subjects include mule deer and whitetail deer fawns, calf elk, ducklings and goslings and baby avocets to mention a few.
