Wildlife Pictures, Page 3



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.

This is a common sight on the large Catskill rivers in early May, a mother goose guarding her nest. They like to nest on midstream islands where anglers are prone to walk from one fishing spot to another, and they do not back down. This one was hissing at me and I didn't want to get any closer. From the West Branch of the Delaware River in New York.

Moose taunting me. This bull moose with little paddle antlers was in an "any bull" area near Fairbanks. I could have put him in the freezer if I hadn't signed up for the guaranteed Denali Highway caribou permit (which prevents me from moose hunting anywhere else). From Cache Creek Road in Alaska.

In an unsuccessful search for a bear we spotted from a distance, we climbed high enough to be checked out by a curious mountain goat. From Prince William Sound in Alaska.

My dad held the canoe in place while I snapped a picture of this immature bald eagle perched in a pine over the river on an August evening. It probably caught more fish than we did. From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.
