On a hike in Yellowstone National Park this summer, I came upon the following scene.
If you ever wondered where bears sleep, here's at least one answer: on a log in the forest. I was able to take this picture from across a river.
On subsequent visits to this remote area, I was fortunate enough to observe this black bear sow and her two cubs on mu...

This little grizzly cub was born this past winter in the National Forest just outside Grand Teton National Park. Doesn't he look amazing?
The sad story associated with this picture is that he had a sibling who died a few months ago. And on top of that, his mom has (for now) abandoned him. He's out in the forest by himself. Even though you'd think...

I hung the wildlife camera in the National Forest just outside of Grand Teton National Park. On a hike, I had found a wildlife trail in the forest. Turns out the trail is actively used by elk, skunk and... wolves!

Aren't Canada Goose goslings the cutest ever?
Canada geese are native to Arctic and temperate regions. They really seem to enjoy the climate in Jackson Hole as they can be found throughout Grand Teton National Park. On many occasions while peering through my binoculars, I got all excited when I noticed movement in the forest only to find out that...

Some grizzly bears don't obey the national park rule to stay at least 100 yards away from photographers. Don't they realize how dangerous humans can be?
