Wildlife Pictures, Page 9
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.

I was at a popular spot for dipnetting, and this little rodent (a vole, I think?) hit the jackpot with an earlier angler's leftover snack.

A dall sheep yew and her lamb walk a trail that appears to be nothing but sheer cliff on the side of a mountian near the Dalton Highway -- I think it was Slope Mountain.
Several mergansers leave their rock in a mess.
A lone caribou grazes on the Arctic coastal plain near Prudhoe Bay.
Two dear make tracks across a frozen trout stream in the deep snows of early February not far from Lake Superior. I had hoped to sample nymphs in the stream (which later turned out to be quite fertile) but it wasn't open.
Dall sheep on the side of the mountain overlooking Galbraith Lake, north of Atigun Pass.
More of the same herd of musk oxen.
This cow caribou ran across the road in front of my car.
