Wildlife Pictures, Page 14
Expert wildlife photographers stake out their quarry like a hunter and wait, sometimes for days, for the perfect shot to appear. I am not one of them. But once in a while on a trout stream the wildlife photo opportunities come to me, and when I can I have my camera ready.
Two whitetail deer in one of the meadows along Slough Creek. I watched them all morning before I hiked out.

Beavers were a significant impediment to the fishing in many pools on Slough Creek, maybe at least 20 % of the pools I fished. They would come out at the worst times, swim around scaring the fish, and then slap their tails. Meanwhile, I was fishing an 18-foot leader/tippet and trying my best to drop my flies on the water without the slightest splash.

Canada geese and sandhill cranes were all noisily objecting to my presence on Slough Creek.
