A moment from my first grizzly sighting of the year. I love photographing wildlife in the subtle green and red landscape that appears just after the snow melts in spring.
Young red fox kits greet their mom outside the den as she returns from hunting. It doesn’t take long for curiously to overcome the fox kits, leading them to stray further from the den, but in the early days they lack the confidence to venture o
For several days the fox hunted on this thin layer of snow and buried her prey in the ground nearby. Now, she has more food than she can carry in one trip. With a moth full of voles, she heads off, presumably to a den where young kits are hiding.
It’s spring, finally. The snow is rapidly loosening it’s grip on the land. Pocket gophers and voles are still hunkered down beneath the small white patches that remain, and this experienced red fox is taking advantage of the cover that pr
Two young grizzly bears hustle to keep up with mom as she searches for salmon along the bank in the Great Bear Rainforest.
A Canada Lynx kitten emerges from dense forest where mom is hunting snowshoe hares. The first several decades of pine forest regrowth following a fire creates a nearly impenetrable fortress of small trees growing only inches apart. They are shade int
The view from the top of the Eureka dunes in Death Valley is worth…hmm well I’m still not sure it was worth it? The grueling 1 foot forward 2 steps back scramble on all fours and the demise of my lens in a sudden sand storm was a pretty
On a normal year I would have been returning from Costa Rica about now. This toucan is a Fiery-billed Aracari and is endemic to the region, meaning it only lives in Costa Rica and western Panama. Finding a clear vantage for a nice image of these bird
It’s Earth Day and I feel a mix of emotions as I reflect on experiences I’ve had while exploring earth’s remaining wild places. I’m deeply grateful for these moments, such as the time with this spirit bear in the Great Bear Ra
Well I finally have some time on hand to dig through old shoots, and I stumbled across a few images that had been forgotten. Here’s some crazy rock formations in Arizona.
To make up for a lack of body fat and extra fur, ermines generate body heat from a cranked up metabolism. Essentially, they turn their body into a heater, eating up to 6 times a day. When ermines do take time to rest, it needs to be in an insulated l
Spending the morning with this playful group of river otters was definitely a highlight of the winter
Bison often spend time grazing near thermal features in the winter where the snow isn’t so deep. On cold mornings, like this one at -31 F, they vanish and reappear right before your eyes as waves of steam blow over.
Grizzlies give birth to cubs around February. Their first few months of life are spent huddled next to their mother for warmth in the safety of the den. Come late April or May they leave the den for good, and immediately begin learning invaluable les

A storm causes the sudden appearance of waterfalls flowing off a steep granite wall in the Great Bear Rainforest
Besides the shocking disproportionate size of their feet, the calm and mesmerizing presence of the Canada Lynx is what stands out to me. Unlike most other cat species, the lynx I’ve encountered appear to be relatively comfortable with me, often
A Humpback Whale dives near the shore in the Great Bear Rainforest.
With temps nearing 30 below zero, all the steam from a nearby thermal feature instantly froze on this bull bisons coat. Since they are so well insulated with their winter coats hardly any body heat escapes and ice just accumulates on their body.
