Red Wolf in the Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Burnet Park, Syracuse, New York.
An endangered Red Wolf looks out at me from his enclosure at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York. Rosamond Gifford Zoo is part of the Red Wolf Recovery Project to insure a viable population in hopes to introduce more wolves back into the wild.
to my personal journal through my viewfinder. A place where I leave the world behind and try to find the spirit of what I am seeing.

The eyes make the portrait whether for humans or animals. The eyes should be in sharp focus.

He looks very wary, doesn’t he? Beautiful capture of this handsome animal.

They are a bit skidish and you can see it in his eyes.

It looks shy and unthreatening. I wonder what it looks like in the wild? Maybe the same, which could explain why it’s endangered. Or maybe the other way around . . .

Red Wolves roamed the south eastern US which is where the Europeans first settled. It’s a wonder the species has survived though there’s more of them in captivity than in the wild.

The Red Wolf area is below a wooden walkway so must of my photos of them are unflattering. I waited for a long time before this one looked up at me.

I wish I had a zoo nearby. Sure would help with the identification problem.

Ottawa doesn’t have a zoo? Toronto has a large one but isn’t the best for photography. Though I envey all the wildlife opportunities that come right up to your door. 🙂
