Not a great photo, but a huge accomplishment yesterday. and I headed to the far north country, and were able to find this gorgeous snowy owl, hanging out, right here in Montana.

Not pictured were the ~30 short eared owls, 1 great horned owl, horned larks, snow buntings, Merlin’s, prairie falcons and 3 magpies.

It was a perfect day, to find the perfect swan shot.

Thanks for a great day

Somehow, the complete lack of contrast with their backdrop only enhances the beauty of trumpeter swans. With a 5 day winter storm watch starting last night, minimalist wildlife images should be exceptionally abundant in the coming days. My advice: find the swans and wait for compelling poses.

Winter bulls. Resilient and handsome. They come by their icon status honestly.

Little Rockstar

These tiny hunters have been entertaining locals, visitors and photographers all winter. Like Christmas ornaments with attitudes I think they deserve all the attention. Keep your eyes on the tree tops, and averted from their glare.

A good day for photography in Yellowstone’s interior. A bad day to be a vole.

Fun shooting with friends.

Polar Bear Poses

As the bears wait for the sea ice to arrive on the shores of Hudson Bay, they’ve got plenty of time to try and figure out how to get comfortable. And in universal bear fashion, it’s quite entertaining.

Seasonal formation of sea ice is critical to the western Hudson Bay population of polar bears. Without it, they can’t access the blubbery seals needed to sustain through the long ice-less summers. This makes the reproductive females, their cubs and subadults the most vulnerable to the rapidly expanding duration of time spent onshore.

This isn’t an issue of the future, it’s happening right now. It’ll be an uphill battle for the environment for the foreseeable future. And as cute as they may be trying to stay comfortable, polar bears don’t have anytime time to wait.

The recent euthanization of a grizzly bear outside the North Entrance to Yellowstone has again stirred the conversation around management of a species that can potentially cost property damage and threaten injury, while also generating intrinsic and economic value.

Part of the conservation success story of the grizzly bear is that the population continues to grow, increasing the likelihood that residents and visitors will encounter the species more often. This is advantageous to business owners and employees in Park County who earn their livelihood in a $500 million tourism economy that depends on viewing wildlife. However, the lack of bear proof infrastructure and human habits have created human safety issues, have had fatal consequences for bears and threaten sustainable livelihoods.

It is profitable to tolerate and live with a species like grizzly bears. In a study with the United States Geological Survey, economists found that “an individual grizzly bear sighting is approximately $16 while an individual black bear sighting is worth $14.” If only half of Yellowstone’s annual visitors saw a grizzly bear, they would be part of an estimated $50 million contribution to the local economy.

A habituated bear is often subject to euthanization like the bear we witnessed last week in the Gardiner area. However, the spectacle was preventable and it is our responsibility as stewards of this landscape to be good neighbors to humans and wildlife alike.

One way you can be part of the conservation success story and keep our communities safe is by supporting bear tolerant businesses who have taken on the responsibility to protect grizzly bears that our livelihoods depend on.

Caught a fly-by from the fastest of the fastest today! Falco peregrinus coming in hot!

For years a shot of the rolling planes meeting the Crazy Mountains with auroras dancin over head has been evading me. Until last night.

One is tiny, mighty, and flighty. Darting through the canopy, usually only revealing itself when it perches against a skyline, betrayed by its silhouette.

The other is a wizard of the forest, regal but secretive, and a master of invisibility.

If you could only to see one in Yellowstone, which are you choosing?

We search high and low, day after day, and on our very last afternoon in the park, this v***n gave us a a mousing Yellowstone fox show that dreams are made of! Great way to end a fantastic week of shooting. Eventually we’ll get to the GGO magic from the heart of Yellowstone ;)

Really excited to see what’s coming from & !

907f, 2013-2024 Of all the wolves I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time observing in the field, none were more present than this old girl. I can’t understate how she much taught me about wolves, how they live, and all the things we have in common across our species. Enjoy these images I captured in 2017, paired with a more recent recording of her howl, thanks to our friend Jeff Reed. Very grateful to have these to remember this extraordinary wolf with.

Hungry eyes…
