Collection of Animal photos.
On November 22, 2022 we had an unexpected guest at the WBNP Visitor Center. A lonely muskrat found himself cornered my the entrance to our offices. With the help of our resource conservation team we captured the specimen and released him into a nearby section of forest.
Working at Wood Buffalo National Park gave me plenty of opportunity to come face to face with these magnificent creatures. Its quite common to find the Bison grazing on the sides of the highways and lounging in sandpits to avoid the flies. This collection of photos and video were gathered between April 2022 and September 2023.
While working at the joint WBNP/TOFS Visitor Center we noticed a family of Bats using the entrance way as a den. Our team monitored the Bats daily to check for signs of “white-nose syndrome” a fungal disease which has caused the rapid decline of Northern Bat populations.
As apart of my job with the Fort Smith Visitor Center I facilitated a guided hike from the Visitor Information Center to the base of the “Rapids Of The Drowned”. While the American white pelican don’t nest on these rapids they are often found feeding on Lamprey. As apart of my job I collected photos and video to post on the Town of Fort Smith Instagram.
