Wildlife! Some wild animal species are everywhere – squirrels, crows, lizards… Other species are more elusive, requiring the photographer to carefully plan and wait, hoping to catch a glimpse of the species they’re looking for! Some types of wildlife are covered in fur, others in scales. Some types of wildlife dwell in the trees while others make their home in the desert. Even the most inhospitable environments on Earth like the frigid landscape of Antarctica provide habitats for wild animals!

Great photos of natures’ wildlife at Yellowstone. Thanks for sharing photos of these animals, of which most folks only get to see in a zoo setting. I especially enjoyed the bison rolling in the dirt.

that shot at the bird feeder should be framed. I just love the one little bird “talking with its mouth full”!

your capture of the sun reflecting up beneath the duck’s neck is definitely my favorite of your grouping. How’d you manage to get that duck to hold on cue like that?!

I really like how the lighting on the giraffes seems surreal. Great use of the light and post processing. Excellent!!
