Patagonian Scene
A Puma gazes out over the Paine Massif. Taken on a Puma photography tour with @danieldietrichphoto, which was truly an unforgettable experience. For all the photos I’ve seen of Pumas and the Torres del Paine, I still wasn’t prepared for the feeling of being out in the wild Patagonian landscape watching these majestic cats go…

Diademed Sandpiper-Plovers at Valle del Yeso
My big wildlife trip for this year centered around a week-long Patagonian Puma photography tour. Given the length of the trip, I wanted to spend some extra time in Chile. Just getting to Santiago from San Francisco is a 17 hour trip, with the flight from Santiago to Patagonia taking another 3 hours. As I…

Diademed Sandpiper Plover
The Diademed Sandpiper-Plover is a fascinating shorebird, one of a small number of high alpine specialist shorebirds. It inhabits glacier-fed wetlands high in the Andes.

Coyote Visit
While photographing the Long-Tailed Weasel in yesterday’s post, I was joined by a fellow weasel enthusiast. We all just sat together amidst the fields, keeping a watchful distance from each other, until the Coyote settled in for a mid-afternoon snooze.

Tiny Sociopath
Few things in wildlife make me happier than spending an afternoon in a field watching the tiny murder machines more commonly known as weasels pop in and out of their holes.

Big Snooze
When I saw this Coyote napping on top of a knoll in Yellowstone, I knew I had to get a photo of it showing the off the incredible winter scenery. The only problem was that a napping Coyote looks somewhere between a rock and a lump. As I told a bunch of people who asked…

Frigid
On my first morning in Yellowstone, I didn’t quite have the hang of doing photography in gloves, which mean I lost most of my shots. For whatever reason, I managed to get the shutter all the way down for this composition. I really liked the wider version of this shot, but the silver lining to…

Gray Fox
Normally a photo this busy might not even survive my initial cull. But, this is my first time ever getting a portrait of a Gray Fox, so it stays. I’ve hiked or camped in these hills about a dozen times. In that whole time, I’ve only seen a fox twice, and one of those times…

Soulful
This Coyote found a comfortable hillside from which to watch the sunset.
