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.

On my way to a favorite brook trout stream, I spotted several sandhill cranes in a Wisconsin farm field.

These seagulls live at the salmon-cleaning station during this time of year.

A beaver swims around the swampy corpse of a trout stream his species destroyed, with a little help from ours.

This is a pretty cool silhouette of a bald eagle carrying some food, even though it isn't terribly well-focused or well-lit. I was actually driving when I took it (though it was on a no-traffic campground driveway, so it wasn't unsafe) and the eagle swooped into the roadway right in front of me, then flew around to the side and gave me this profile.
