Wildlife Pictures, Page 3

This is the first grizzly bear I've seen. It's in Denali National Park. People with long-range binoculars, plus the view through a couple spotting scopes the park installed at this stop, verified that the little light spot my arrow is pointing to is, in fact, a grizzly bear. This is the closest view I got.

A family of geese take a drink from Lake Superior. They then swam out effortlessly into the high breaking waves and foiled the retrieving efforts of somebody's ambitious dog.

Several whitetail deer cross the river in front of me in the middle of winter.

Look at the hole in that thing's mouth... no wonder mergansers are a threat to trout.

I saw this porcupine cross the road behind me while I was watching from a bridge for some large trout I'd heard about. I ran back to the car for the camera and got quite close for a picture. Speed is not one of the noble porcupine's many virtues.

This deer ran at least a hundred yards in front of our canoe before it finally decided to get out of the river. Here it just hurdled a beaver dam.

Along the roadside of the Denali Highway, a hunter more successful than I had a good sense of humor.

These baby Canada geese are just beginning to grow their real feathers.

Mating toads, a common sight on Catskill rivers in early May.
