Per the United Nations, today is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people.

One of the biggest bull moose in Jackson Hole, Wyoming feeds in a pond.
The sun hit him just before sunset and lit up the velvet covered antlers.
Fine art print is available: click here

This makes this bull...

One of my favorite things in wildlife photography is to be able to see in detail what your eye doesn't pick up in the wild.
You see, it's much safer to keep your distance from a subject like a black bear and to take its picture with a big, long lens rather than to walk up to the bear for a close-up view!
Here's some images from this past fall in...

As I'm spending the winter months in Mexico along the Sea of Cortez, I'm finally finding some time to edit images from this past spring, summer and fall spent in Jackson Hole and Yellowstone.
This image has a clear message: when you're visiting Yellowstone in late August or September, don't assume all bears will be walking around.
Definitely keep...

Wolves Need Our Help

It is heartbreaking to watch as grey wolves get slaughtered by states such as Idaho, Montana, Wisconsin and Michigan.
I think it's clear to say that science has nothing to do with this: these states have officially declared war on the wolf and are trying to reduce the wolf population down to zero.

Born in January of 1996, the world's most famous grizzly bear celebrates her birthday this month. Currently asleep in her den outside of Grand Teton National Park, grizzly 399 turns 26!
Once she and her four cubs appear out of hibernation, probably sometime in May 2022, she is expected to kick out her four cubs shortly after.
Fingers crossed that...

Elk on the beach?
I typically associate elk with snow covered mountains but yes, there are elk that live along the coast and spend part of their time sitting on the beach!
Meet the Roosevelt elk - the largest of the four surviving subspecies of elk - who live from Northern California into Washington on the Pacific coast.
This elk was even...
