Timber-Wolf Reflections
A Wildlife & Nature Photography Tour in Yellowstone with snow blowing constantly is not my idea of a good time and made for some lack luster photographs. I was able to get several photographs of Elk and Bison that turned OK but nothing special except the coyote with the bird in the previous article.
Grizzly-With Stolen-Elk
Leaving Yellowstone I headed for Glazier Park where
I hoped the wildlife would treat me better, they didn’t. I didn’t get a single wildlife photograph but did get several nature and scenic photos.
Timber Wolf
I headed back to Teton National Park to try to get photographs of the Moulton Barn with the Tetons behind it to replace the photographs taken during the snow storms. Here is one of them. Because of my success at barn I thought about Yellowstone and, like the bear that went over the mountain to see what he could see, I decided to drive back through Yellowstone one more time – what a stroke of luck. I came upon a “Jam” – about twenty cars parked along the road and everyone out watching something. That something was a wolf pack feeding on a large bull elk. As I watched the wolves a large grizzly came up and took the elk away and started to eat. I photographed the event about three hours watching the wolves come back several times just to keep the grizzly honest. I’m sure that the black wolf is a direct descendant of the evil wolf that tried to get “Little Red Riding Hood,” you decide.
Moulton-Barn-Grand-Tetons
I have to say, this is one of those experiences that makes me glad to be alive and a photographer. Visit my web page www.wildlifephototour.com for more information on upcoming tours and workshops.
Tom
Coyote with dinner
While I was in Colorado I had an invitation from one of my Photography Tour www.wildlifephototour.com clients to travel to Yellowstone Park and onto Montana for a week or so of shooting. Needless to say I took her up on the invitation to share expenses for the trip. We did have a bit of a problem, it snowed every day.
Attached is a wildlife photograph taken in Yellowstone of a Coyote with a bird that he had just caught for dinner. Unfortunately I failed to photograph the capture.
Moulton Barn in Teton National Park
This shot is of the Moulton Barn photographed in Teton National Park just after and before snow storms. I had been hopping for a great shot with the Teton peaks in the backgound, but alass it wasn’t to be. Look for up coming information on Photographic Tours to Yellowstone and the Tetons.
