With the “good” camera packed away for a winter journey into Yellowstone we made a quick stop at the snake river overlook to snap this photo of the Tetons in the distance and Snake River below. Grand Teton National Park, WY.

Walking in a winter wonderland
Well OK, we weren’t walking but cross country skiing.
Happy winter to everyone out there in the northern hemisphere or summer for everyone down down south.
Yellowstone NP, Wyoming.
Mr. Finch
Extracting tiny seeds from a dried thistle seems like a tough way to earn your keep but this finch is a master of his trade. We watched as this guy quickly pulled seeds from the dried thistle and had himself quite a meal. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

Lip Smacking
Is a lip smacking feast awaiting this red fox? We caught a brief glimpse of this red fox through the car window while on a quiet country road and it sure looked like they were onto a meal. Before we could see the scene play out the fox moved into the woods and was lost from sight. A brief yet gratifying experience and a tale yet to be told.
Goldfinch and Thistle
Seeking seeds on a sunny fall afternoon.
Youth
An immature Bald Eagle waiting patiently for a meal to present itself along the Snake River in Teton National Park. It seems almost every time we kayak this stretch of the Snake River an eagle swoops down attempting to catch a fish. Having the camera ready is a different story.
Coyote
Peeking at each other through the long fall grass and sagebrush in Yellowstone NP. I always marvel at how an animals fur matches their environment and the subtle changes that occur from place to place within a single species. This Coyote seem to perfectly match the sage and grass in which they live.
