The bull moose's antlers are getting close to being full-grown. Still covered in velvet, the bulls will start to rub their antlers in a few weeks from now to expose the white bone antlers underneath, and start the annual mating season. I found this bull among silverberry bushes, which they like to browse. P.S. If you like wildlife images, make s...

It's that time of the year: the bison rut (or mating season) has started! Here's a cheeky bull "bellowing" (which sounds like a loud burp) to signal to the other bulls that he's a force to be reckoned with. P.S.

It's hot in Jackson Hole with temperatures frequently reaching up into the 90s! I recently saw grizzly 399 and Spirit in their expected territory in Grand Teton NP. Surprisingly they haven't "headed for the hills" and cooler temps yet. And I have to say, Spirit is looking great. Being an only child seems to be helping this young one to grow into...

With Jackson Hole getting busy as the summer months have arrived, it’s time for an update on what bears are out and where you might want to look for them! As always, keep a safe distance from the bears, be respectful, carry bear spray and use a long telephoto lens for pictures. This past winter was relatively mild and full of promise: would “Feli...

For the fifth year in a row, I was very excited to receive word from one of the world's largest photography competitions: 35 AWARDS. (Web | Instagram | Facebook) This competition awards the 'top 35' photos in different categories and I made it as a top wildlife photographer and a top photographer in the USA, and o ne of my images was voted to be i...

Time for some cute COY, aka. Cubs Of the Year. The only grizzly sow in the Tetons who has COY so for is Felicia, up on Togwotee pass in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Much of the grizzly bear action so far this spring is happening in Yellowstone. It's hard to beat springtime for cute baby animals! Grizzly Bear Fine Art Prints start at jus...

I photographed this bison just before the sun dipped below the mountains, highlighting the silhouette and the brown-headed cowbirds that sat on its back. Spring is finally arriving in full force in the mountains! These cowbirds follow the bison herd around and eat the insects that are attracted the bison. Interestingly enough, since the bison her...

This past winter was the first time I got to play around with Nikon's "pre release capture" feature on the Z8 and Z9. I have to say it works amazingly well. What does it do? Let's say you want to take a picture of a bird taking off, or a critter lifting its head up, or some other action that typically happens in the fraction of a second. In the p...

River otters are, of course, most at home in the water. Their streamlined body and agility allows them to catch fish like native Cutthroat Trout in the Tetons and Yellowstone. But did you know they move swiftly on land too? Otters have been clocked in at 15 mph while running! That's not fast enough to outrun their main land predators like coyote...

Last night, April 21, grizzly 399 and her yearling cub Spirit put in a very brief appearance in her usual area in Grand Teton National Park! They are both officially awake from hibernation. Great to see that both made it through the winter, especially 399 at her old age of 28 now. Today, I was in the park all day looking for her, but no one saw h...

Meet the (former) King of Jackson Hole. This bull moose, named Shoshone by photographers for easy identification, was the biggest bull around in Grand Teton National Park for several years. It's been two years now since anyone has seen him, so it's feared that he's no longer alive. That being said, this past fall, I saw a young bull moose with v...

In the fall, while hiking around Jackson Hole to look for moose, I typically carry my 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. I love that lens and since moose are not too skittish in the area, the focal length works great to get close shots as well as scenics. Elk, due to the annual hunt in Grand Teton National Park and in the surrounding Bridger-Teton National For...
