Yellowstone in Winter

This was the first photo trip of 2024 and it was a bit unusual. After flying into Bozeman and making our way to West Yellowstone, I got a terrible toothache. I tried Ibruprofin and over-the-counter remedies, but it hurt like hell.

Fortunately for me, on day one we saw the wolves. During our pre-trip meeting with Trevor LaClair of BCJ I said that my goal was to get a wall-hanger or two (always my goal) and preferably of wolves. Wow. Nailed it. One is hanging on my wall right now!

My trip was cut short after two days of photography by the toothache and I bailed out and flew home. It sucked but I needed Dental care!

The tooth is fine now after a root canal and a crown. I'm grateful that the wolves were on day one and not on day three, or I would have completely missed out.

I call this one Landscape with Bison. Very creative.
Snow was not as plentiful as I had hoped.
I definitely wanted the Bison in the snow shot. As you can imagine the opportunites were plentiful.
These two were just sparring.

Coyote listening for mice under the snow
This Coyote was hanging around a concession stand looking for a handout I think. Then is spotted something interesting and I got this shot a second before it took off like a shot.

This young wolf was waiting its turn to feed on the bison carcass in the river.
We were very lucky with our timing to see wolves feeding on this bison carcass.

That look seems to say "mine".
