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 from getting back home, I ran into this beautiful bull moose.
As the sun set behind the mountains, he walked up onto a ridge and performed the flehmen response.
While looking for wildlife, most days things don't work out ... but luckily some days things come together.
I typically love color in my images but for this one I chose to go black & white to highlight the silhouette against the clear sky.

Here he was walking in my general direction after the sun had set.
