Young Moose Bulls

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

During moose mating season in September and October, the young bulls hang out far away from the danger of big bulls.

I found these young bulls hanging out together and play sparring along the Gros Ventre river in Grand Teton National Park.

Black bear at salmon creek

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 10:00:00 GMT

This black bear took his time looking for salmon. Laying on the shore, he briefly looked up to the camera. The dense Alaskan jungle kept his guard up: even though he was one of the top predators around next to this salmon-filled stream, at any moment a brown bear or wolf could walk out of the jungle; both could spell trouble for this black bear.

Grizzly chase

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Hiking in the backcountry can get scary quickly.

Imagine walking through a meadow bordered by dense willows. Suddenly you hear commotion as the willow bushes move. An elk cow with her calf come sprinting out of the willows into the open meadow. A few seconds later, the reason for the elk sprinting appears: a grizzly bear is chasing them.

With one hand on my bear spray, I shot a few pictures.

Luckily, the elk outran the grizzly who, foaming at the mouth, gave up the pursuit and neither paid any attention to me as they went their way.

Deep torpor

Fun fact: did you know grizzlies do not 'need' to sleep during winter?

They actually don't go to bed as long as there is enough food. I took the below picture on January 30.

And, technically they don't 'hibernate', they go into what is called 'deep torpor'.

This momma grizzly and her two cubs posed after they crossed the road.

Grizzlies standing on their hind legs is not a sign of aggression but rather the bears being curious and checking out their surroundings. Like us, they stand up to get a better look at what's out there.

Annual Wildlife and Landscape Photo Trip in New Mexico

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 05:03:29 GMT

Trip Report: New Mexico Winter Birding and Nature Photo Safari, Jan 2026

Our annual 7-day photo workshop happened this January. It was awesome!
The birds cooperated, the weather cooperated, sunsets and sunrises were beautiful, other wildlife cooperated to pose for our cameras, the guests were happy with thousands of shots, we were able to donate much needed funds to the Friends of Bosque del Apache and the local Wildlife Rescue Inc of New Mexico ... We couldn't have asked for a better trip.

Here's one of my favorite shots of the workshop: Sandhill cranes at sunset on the 2nd day of our trip.

Sandhill cranes at sunset

The trip started in Albuquerque with airport pickups, welcome dinner in Old Town and our first night in one of Albuquerque's premiere hotels in Old Town along historic Route 66. The next morning, after an elaborate breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, we got acquainted with the area's wildlife. First our group was treated to a private presentation by the veterinarian in charge of rehabilitating injured wildlife, followed by our first opportunity at wildlife photography at blinds along the Rio Grande river. After a native American lunch in the city, we headed south along the Rio Grande and spent the afternoon until well after sunset to photograph the thousands of Sandhill cranes and Snow geese that spend winter here. Sunset was amazing as we were treated to low hanging clouds that lit up in glowing colors.

The following day was all about the Sandhill cranes, Snow geese and other wildlife that spends winter along the Rio Grande. We arrived at Bosque del Apache well before sunrise and were treated to thousands of Snow geese flying into the pond where we were ready with our cameras. As the sun slowly rose and a mist formed above the water, we got to photograph the geese taking off in large groups.

Snow geese fly-in at sunrise

After the geese left the pond around 8:30, we explored Bosque del Apache's dirt roads and photographed a variety of birds - including New Mexico's state bird, the Roadrunner - and mammals such as coyotes, javelinas and even an elusive bobcat!

We found the bobcat hiding up a tree

Before we headed to lunch, we were treated to another private presentation: the head of the Friends of Bosque del Apache non-profit joined by the Ranger told us all about Bosque del Apache's history, wildlife and management. Lunch was held in the famous Owl Cafe, original home of New Mexico's green chile cheeseburger. The afternoon was spent photographing Sandhill cranes until it was too dark and it was time for dinner.

Snow geese mass take-off as a layer of fog was forming on the pond

The next morning again found us in Bosque del Apache well before sunrise to photograph the Snow geese and other mammals. Highlights this morning included photographing the mass fly-out of the Snow geese (they were nice enough to do it twice, for those of us who weren't quite ready with their camera the first time), more javelinas as well as coyotes making a meal out of an unlucky Snow goose. Late morning, it was time to head to our next destination. We had some amazing homemade pizza and Belgian chocolate ice cream for lunch and arrived in White Sands National Park in early afternoon. The afternoon until after sunset were spent wandering about the beautiful sand dunes, searching for those perfect landscape shots.

Plenty of room at White Sands for guests to spread out

We grabbed a homemade breakfast to go the next morning and headed back to White Sands for sunrise photography. Thanks to our special early entry permit, we were allowed to enter the park before the official opening hours and our small group found ourselves all alone in the park. Plenty of opportunities to wander around the dunes without the risk of other visitors ruining the shot!

White Sands at sunrise

We spent the afternoon photographing the opposite of White Sands' white landscapes: we explored and wandered around New Mexico's youngest lava fields.

The following day found us back with the birds and mammals along the Rio Grande. We spent the morning at Bosque del Apache and the afternoon at another birding location to photograph the Sandhill cranes at sunset.

Guests photographing Sandhill cranes at sunset

Our last full day of photography: the guests opted to photograph a nearby sandstone canyon at sunrise. Think red Utah scenery in the middle of New Mexico. The canyon is off the beaten path and we were alone and free to explore: we didn't run into another visitor until we were on our way back to the car. Then it was time for another wildlife area along the Rio Grande where we went searching for New Mexico's wild horses and we learned about the success story of the Mexican wolf reintroduction, which are bred here in the location we visited before they are set free in the wild.

Javelina or Collared Peccary

That evening, we arrived back in Albuquerque and had our farewell dinner. The next morning was available for sightseeing in Albuquerque's historic Old Town before everyone headed for the airport: tired but with thousands of pictures on the memory card to edit!

Happy New Year!

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 02:27:04 GMT

Happy New Year! May 2026 bring you good health and happiness.

And I wanted to thank you for your (continued) support.
Thanks to you, I get to do what I love: spend time in nature photographing wildlife and share my images / write articles to keep raising awareness for nature and wildlife that needs our help.

In 2025, I found myself photographing the winter birds along New Mexico's Rio Grande followed by April through June in Grand Teton and Yellowstone. After a late June visit to Wyoming's wild horses at Pryor Mountain, I spent July through September photographing brown bears in Alaska and British Columbia. Late September through October found me once again in the Rocky Mountains to photograph the ever amazing moose and elk mating seasons. Since November, I've been back home in New Mexico where I've been photographing the thousands of Sandhill cranes and Snow geese that winter here along the Rio Grande.

Keep an eye on my website and social media (links below) if you're interested in attending a photo workshop in 2026. I'll be continuing doing day and multi-day winter workshops here in New Mexico until the birds migrate north in February-March as well as multi-day photo workshops in Yellowstone and Grand Teton in spring and fall.

P.S. I have a few copies left of my 2026 Wildlife Calendar. 25% Off and free shipping while supplies last.

Until next time, happy shooting!

- Jorn

Jackson Hole Lightning Strike

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Here is today's image: while exploring Jackson Hole, thunderclouds rolled in. As the light show got underway, I used my Nikon Z8's pre-capture feature at 60 frames per second to "go back in time" to capture a lightning strike. It works amazingly well for capturing lightning; something that previously required a specialized lightning trigger on your camera.

In the background of the image, you'll notice Teton Village and the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

Young Grizzly Bear

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Here is today's image: a young grizzly bear, shortly after being kicked out by mom. This bear has to figure out what life is like without having his mom hovering over him for the first 2.5 years of his life. Many bears tend to get into trouble, similarly to human teenagers, as they test the limits of what they can get away with. This young guy did get into trouble by hanging out near human residences (that's where his favorite grass grows!) but luckily for him, he moved on in late spring and behaved himself.

Wyoming Mustang

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Here is today's image: a wild horse at Wyoming's McCullough Peaks. A big area with few rough dirt roads, it can be tricky to find wild horses to photograph in this area. Parking and using binoculars to monitor their water holes is typically my preferred method. This horse had taken a mud bath before it rejoined its small band.

Here is today's image: a trio of sandhill cranes heads to the safety of a nearby pond to spend the night. Tens of thousands of cranes and snow geese, who spend winter here in New Mexico near my home, sleep in water overnight to keep them (relatively) safe from coyotes and bobcats.

River Crossing

Here is today's image: it's always exciting finding wildlife in or near the water. This here is one of the biggest bull moose to roam Grand Teton National Park. I found him bedded down near a river and was excited my waiting paid off when he crossed to my side!

Take-off

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Here is today's image: you don't always get what you want. On a long hike through a riparian habitat along a river to look for moose, I found no moose. Disappointed and sore, I started walking back in the general direction of where I parked the car. It was late afternoon so not a typical time of day to find great horned owls active, as they are primarily nocturnal. On this afternoon, however, a pair of owls was flying around and actively hunting. They acted skittish so I had to keep my distance; luckily I brought my 500mm lens with me. The owl pictured went to the ground, caught nothing and then perched on an old fence post; a leftover from a long time ago as I was hiking in a national park and no active fencing was present other than this farming remnant. Shortly after I took the picture, the owl took off.

Playful kits

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Here is today's image: watching a den filled with playful fox kits is for sure one of my favorite things to do. This particular red fox family had 7 kits and they got more active as they got older, getting more adventurous and spending more and more time outside of the den even without mom or dad present.

Pre-capture on the Nikon Z8, which is now also available on several Canon, Sony and Minolta cameras, is a game changer for wildlife. It basically allows you go back in time at the press of a button. Once you see a moment like the one pictured, the Z8 goes back one full second to capture the shot you may have missed!

Deep in the forest

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Here is today's image: a solo hike into the Alaskan rainforest found me on the edge of a small creek with extremely limited visibility. The creek is home to spawning salmon each year in August and I was hoping to find and photograph a brown bear up close. Movement in the dense bushes across the creek put me on edge as I quickly realized this wasn't one of my brightest plans: sitting by myself, next to a creek filled with salmon, with almost no visibility, being quiet, and with nowhere to go. My heart rate dropped a little when this black bear stepped out, about 10 yards away. He seemed surprised to see me as I doubt anyone else is silly enough to go where I went ... The rainforest is a dense, dark place so I had to raise the ISO significantly to get this shot.

Brown Bear Hunt

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMT

Brown bears in Alaska's salmon-filled streams are on the hunt.

As opposed to their usual diet, the abundance of salmon in shallow streams means easy access to fatty and protein-rich meals.

Whereas some brown bears walk through a creek and suddenly pounce, this one ran at full speed in the hopes of catching his meal.

Dominant Brown Bear

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMT

An up close encounter with a brown bear in Southeastern Alaska's rain forest.

As opposed to black bears, a brown bear (or grizzly) tends to act dominant: if it wants to walk in a certain direction, you better step aside. Other than it being a rather unnerving experience, it allows for otherwise hard to get close-ups of this big predator!

A big brown bear catches his meal: a female Chum (or "dog") salmon, in a spring-fed creek in Southeastern Alaska.

The salmon run is in full swing and bears are coming down from surrounding mountains in Alaska's Misty Fjords National Monument to get their protein and to fatten up for the coming winter.

Spirit

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 18:05:33 GMT

Spirit, daughter of grizzly 399, on one of the last occasions that I photographed her last cub.

This spring into summer, there have been a few sightings of young solitary bears in 399's area around Pilgrim Creek. We all want to believe this is Spirit as it would mean that after last October's vehicle collision that killed 399, Spirit made it through his first winter alone. Without DNA evidence, however, there is no way to know if Spirit is this young bear in the Pilgrim area of the National Park.

Around July 20-21, rumors started flying that a young grizzly had been captured at the end of the Pilgrim Creek dirt road, DNA tested and found to be Spirit. Because DNA testing can take anywhere from months to years, I found the story hard to believe. Read the Cowboy State Daily article here.

If/when the Interagency Grizzly Study Team does release the results of the DNA test, it is possible it'll be determined to be an offspring of 399, but until then we'll have to hope for the best.

35 AWARDS Contest Winner!

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 03:27:01 GMT

Exciting to share that, for the 6th year in a row, some of my wildlife images were among the winners in the annual 35 AWARDS international photo competition.

The competition this year had over 473K images submitted by 112K participants from 174 countries. The first two rounds of judging, done by the public, received over 116 million votes. These decided the images to enter the 3rd round of judging, which was done by professional judges from 30 countries. The judges then decided the "TOP 35" (hence the name, 35 AWARDS) images and photographers per category (my images were all wildlife of course) and per country.

My winning moose image will be included in this year's catalog. I was selected as a TOP 35 photographer in the wildlife category and as a TOP 35 photographer in the USA.

This is my winning moose image, available as a fine art print in my Etsy shop (click here):

Here are my results in the 10th 35 AWARDS competition:

My Favorite Wildlife Photography Camera

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 01:55:59 GMT

What camera do you use?

What is the camera I should buy?

While I'm out and about photographing wildlife in nature or while I'm leading a photography tour in Grand Teton or Yellowstone National Parks, those are the most common questions I get asked.

There are several situations that a "wildlife camera" must be able to handle. Once you know what they are, you can look at a camera's features to determine if it was made for wildlife photography. You see, not every camera is made to handle all the demands that photographing wildlife requires. Don't assume you can simply buy the most expensive camera out there and call it a day.

The more expensive flagship cameras are typically built to handle a specific situation really well, unlike the lower-priced cameras that can do many things acceptably well - things like shooting your family vacation or pictures of your pet in the backyard - but fall short of the expensive, specialized camera models. Some flagship cameras are purpose-built for sports photography, others for wildlife, others for weddings, etc.

While each brand has their own "wildlife camera," my favorite is the Nikon Z8. (find it here at a great price)

So what makes a good wildlife camera?

Here are the things I look for when buying a camera:

Frame rate: to get the perfect pose, I typically shoot my camera at a fast frame rate. For large mammals, this is 10 frames per second (or faster), for birds, this goes up to 15 or 20 frames per second. For my shooting, I look for a camera that can handle at least 15 frames per second.

The Nikon Z8 shoots 20 frames per second in RAW and up to 120 frames per second in JPG!
Low light: wildlife is most active during dusk and dawn so your camera has to be able to handle high ISO well. Whereas that meant buying a 16 or 20 megapixel camera a few years ago, today's higher megapixel cameras are as capable of dealing with high ISO shooting.

Whereas I previously used Nikon's low megapixel flagship cameras, I am amazed by how clean the Nikon Z8 shoots at higher ISOs! I don't hesitate to raise the ISO to 6400 when needed.
Pre-capture: a magical feature that allows your camera to go back in time. This is a real game changer for wildlife photography where you rarely know when the decisive moment will occur. With pre-capture, simply push down the shutter button half-way and, when the action happens, push the shutter button all the way down. At that point, the camera will go back one second in time and record everything that just happened!

The Nikon Z8's pre-capture feature works especially well when waiting for a bird to take off, or for lightning to strike!

Autofocus: animals are typically partially obstructed by tall grasses, branches, ... so your camera needs to have a great autofocus system to find the animal in the frame.

The Nikon Z8 has a dedicated AF system for either animals in general or birds. Both work great in finding the animal in your frame and focusing on it!
Weather sealing: wildlife photography is done outdoors in every kind of weather and environment. Pouring rain while shooting bears catch salmon in Alaska, snow while photographing moose in the Rockies, blowing sand while photographing snakes in the desert ... Your camera has to have adequate weather sealing to handle all of this.

Like its bigger brother, the Z9, the Nikon Z8 has great weather sealing and it hasn't let me down in any situation.
Megapixels: since wildlife is typically (very) shy, it really helps to get a camera with enough megapixels so you can crop the image after the shoot. If you start with 20 megapixels, that doesn't give you much room to crop in a lot before the image becomes too small to create large prints.

The Nikon Z8 has 45 megapixels which provide great flexibility for cropping. And, as part of the magic, Nikon was able to keep the file size of the Z8 similar to my older D500 which was only 20 megapixels!

Did I miss anything? What do you think makes a great wildlife camera? Let me know, thanks!

What a Coincidence!?

(Jorn Vangoidtsenhoven Wildlife and Nature Photography) — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 04:09:57 GMT

On one of my past visits to NW Colorado to photograph the Sand Wash Basin wild horses/mustangs, I made the following group image, which turned out to be one of my favorite images of the visit:

Fine art print available on Etsy: click here

A few years later, I was contacted by Mary Duke, who recognized one of the wild horses ...!

Turns out one of these horses was, after my visit, captured by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) as part of a scheduled round up and put up for adoption.

Well, Mary Duke adopted the mustang, saw my image on social media and recognized her new horse.

Equine publication "The Chronicle of the Horse" has now written an article about Mary Duke and this horse, "Slide."

Bull Moose in Jackson Hole
