Grizzly Cub

It's been a busy month here in Jackson Hole, ever since grizzly 399 came out of hibernation with her four cubs in mid April.
Since then, she's been all over the valley on a kind of 'farewell tour' for the cubs.
Now safely back in Grand Teton National Park, she has kicked out the four cubs (or weaned is the more appropriate term) this past Wednesd...

Happy Mother's Day!
Here's one of my favorite animal moms that I have been lucky enough to encounter. This black bear lives in Yellowstone and appeared out of hibernation with the cutest cubs.
They are quite a handful as expected but she's doing a good job so far keeping them safe!
If you're in the market for a fine art print, the 10% discount f...

Up close and personal with a grizzly.
I love getting close-up shots of animals as it allows you to get a feel for the animal's personality.
And, you get to look at all the details in the photograph that you never would have been able to see in person.
Now that the grizzlies here in the Tetons are waking up after a long and cold winter, I'm out d...

She's up!
Grizzly 399 and her four cubs appeared out of hibernation this afternoon.
After a long winter sleep and ready for a good meal, they headed straight towards the dumpsite in the National Park where roadkill and carcasses get dumped.
The dumpsite is - for good reason - off limits to the public so everyone's expecting the family to stay th...

Sandhill Crane

A sandhill crane comes in for a landing at sunset.
It's quite a spectacle to visit one of these majestic bird's winter roosts.
An estimated 30,000 cranes spend the winter in Arizona's Whitewater Draw area and 15,000 in New Mexico's Bosque del Apache. The result is a sometimes almost deafening noise as thousands of cranes take to the skies.

It's almost time: the first grizzly bears have been spotted coming out of hibernation in Yellowstone and the Tetons! Fingers crossed that bears like 399 with her four cubs and Felicia and her two cubs made it safely through the winter and will put in an appearance soon.
After some of the avoidable calamities that happened last year with several...

B&W Moose

On another long day spent looking for wildlife in Wyoming, it seems that the best was saved for last.
Hours of nothing led to a brief grizzly bear sighting in late afternoon.
The bear quickly disappeared and since it's generally not a great idea to follow a grizzly around on foot, I moved on and started heading towards home.
Barely 15 minutes fr...

New Mexico Sunset

Sometimes everything seems to come together.
The sun breaking through the clouds on the western horizon to light up the clouds, the opportunity to be on the water to catch the reflection, the absence of wind to make the water a perfect mirror.
I've been spending a lot of time these past winters in central New Mexico in the Rio Grande valley at th...

Aspen Moose

The short period of peak fall foliage is a hectic time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The week or so when the aspen trees turn golden (before shedding the leaves) are pretty much a mad dash to find an animal to photograph in said aspen trees.
Now where is the wildlife???
Some of the moose who had been so reliable during preceding weeks, were suddenly...

The sun hit him just before sunset and lit up the velvet covered antlers.
Fine art print is available: click here
Here he is a few weeks later when the velvet is starting to come off
Note one of the brow tines on the left side growing down.
This makes this bull...
