Now that grizzly 399 (with a new record-setting baby: read about it by clicking here!) and most of the other known bears in Grand Teton National Park are awake from hibernation, one bear is left: grizzly 793, also known as 'Blondie.'
Blondie was last seen in June of last year, when she allegedly lost her new cubs to an attack by a male grizzly bea...

She did it!
Grizzly 399 came out of hibernation today in Grand Teton National Park with a new COY ("Cub Of the Year")!
The Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team leader Frank van Manen told WyoFile earlier that the oldest known age of actual reproduction for a wild grizzly was 25.
That means grizzly 399, aged 27, is the new record holder. Amazing!...

Where to Photograph Bighorn Sheep?
May 02, 2023

Leave a Comment
When it comes to finding good areas to photograph bighorn sheep, a few places come to mind.
There's winter at the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, WY when the sheep congregate on Millers Butte.
There's the mining area around Morenci, AZ where sheep live year-round. By the way, these are Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, not desert bighorn sheep that y...

Catch of the Day: Grizzly Bear Fishing
April 29, 2023

5 Comments
This grizzly bear was relentless. For hours on end, he ruled this small creek in Alaska and ate fish non-stop.
Here he is chasing a fish, and proving successful once more.
The Alaskan rainforest definitely taxes your photography equipment. An almost constant drizzle and high humidity dictate the need for a water-sealed camera and lens.

Bison in Grand Teton National Park

This bison posed in a great spot in front of the snow Teton mountains in Grand Teton National Park.
I cannot believe how different this image, taken last spring, is from this year's scene. There is a LOT more snow this year. The bison are still migrating to this area and I haven't seen a single area of green grass here so far...

When a bison herd in Yellowstone National Park's Lamar valley made their way towards a creek, I got setup with my big lens and tripod.
The sun behind my back provided beautiful colors as the herd crossed the creek one by one.
These big bulls can get up to 2,200 lbs (1.000 kg) and are an impressive sight!

Moose and the Tetons

As the sun had set behind the Tetons in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park, I was on my way back from a hike looking for moose.
It was around the middle of October and the moose mating season was running on its last legs.
A mile out from my car, I spotted a cow moose, against a lovely mountain backdrop.
I couldn't believe my luck when this big...

Blue Lagoon in Hyder Alaska

Leave a Comment
This pond, fed by a glacier in Southeast Alaska, is named the "Blue Lagoon."
A spawning area for salmon every summer, the Blue Lagoon attracts lots of hungry predators, including brown bears.
While this area is a rain forest and thus typically overcast and rainy, sometimes a beam of light comes out turning a spotlight onto the hungry bears....
