Male Mountain Bluebirds return to Teton Valley each spring. If you’re patient and stay still, they’ll grow used to your presence—offering great opportunities to watch them forage for food. Patience truly pays off.

The calm waters of the Snake River at Oxbow Bend provide a peaceful setting with Mount Moran standing tall in the background—a perfect place to pause and reflect.

This buck pronghorn keeps a sharp lookout using eyes nearly as large as an elephant’s. As the fastest land mammal in North America, he can run up to 60 mph for long distances—unlike the cheetah, whose speed fades after a few hundred yards.

This mature Shiras bull moose had wandered away from his cow while feeding in the open sagebrush. Fall colors and smoke from the nearby Camp Creek fire created a dramatic and unforgettable scene.

Spring brings new life—including this family of Goldeneye ducks. I discovered their nesting area along the Snake River while hiking and was lucky enough to capture this moment.

Spotted this young bull bison grazing in a meadow at Teton National Park during late spring. His winter coat was shedding, giving him a rugged look against the green backdrop.

The classic “buck and rail” fence needs no holes to stand, making it fast and effective for managing livestock. Wyoming is a free-range state, so if you don’t want your neighbor’s animals on your property, the fence is up to you.

The Shiras bull moose—standing up to 6 feet tall and weighing nearly 1,000 pounds—needs 30–50 pounds of food daily in the warmer months. This one was feeding on aquatic plants, his antlers still in their soft, velvet stage. Moose can swim at 6 mph and dive up to 20 feet deep while holding their breath for about 30 seconds.

Known as a “Cub of the Year” (COY), this young grizzly was one of three siblings playfully exploring near their mother as she foraged for fresh spring grasses and wildflowers in Teton National Park. COYs are born during winter hibernation and venture out for the first time each spring—making sightings like this especially rare and memorable.
