Breaking Through - (Plains Bison - Yellowstone) Deep in the northern range of Yellowstone, an old bull bison stands in heavy snow, using his head to break through the crust and reach the tundra below.
Closing the Distance (Gray wolf - Colorado Front Range) Head low, ears forward, a slender wolf approaches with slow, measured steps across the snow. The movement is quiet and controlled before the wolf slows and the distance holds as if frozen in time.
Frozen Willows (Bull Moose - Yellowstone, NP) A large bull moose stands among frozen willows coated in ice on a cold winter morning. His dark frame and full rack contrast sharply with the pale, still landscape around him.
Listening Post (Great gray owl - Boreal Forest, British Columbia) Hidden among the evergreens of the boreal forest, a great gray owl settles onto a perch, scanning the snow below. Beneath the surface, small movements hint at prey concealed just out of sight.
Hiding in Plain Sight (Snowy owl - Shores of Hudson Bay) Perched on a large rock along the Hudson Bay coast, a snowy owl stands alone, its white and black plumage blending into the winter shoreline. From a distance it nearly disappears, broken only by orange eyes held steady against the open landscape.
Reflections (Big Horn Sheep - Montana) Two large male rams sit back-to-back as if a reflection in the mirror, over looking a large heard of ewe's and young lambs at the base Gallatin Range in Montana.
