Winter Guardians
Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming
The Wapiti Lake Pack numbered over twenty wolves when this picture was taken, making it one of the largest packs ever observed in the wild. The social bonds and structure of wolf packs are strong, uniting them together as they hunt for prey and defend their territory. Observing and photographing wild wolves is a challenge, much less capturing multiple animals socializing in a pristine wilderness setting. While traversing the Park in the early evening, wolf tracks on the road led me to the entire pack en masse on the vast expanse of the frozen Yellowstone Lake. The color variation of their coats stands out against the snowy backdrop as they play together and keep a keen eye on the surrounding wilderness.
Snow Whispers
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Red foxes have an incredible sense of hearing which allows them to detect the movements, nibbles, and squeaks of mice and voles beneath several feet of snow. As they traverse the winter landscape of Hayden Valley in Yellowstone National Park, they frequently pause to simply listen. Foxes subtly move their heads from side to side, attempting to pinpoint the exact location of their prey. Once they confidently fix their target, they crouch, leap, and dive headfirst into the snow. Success rates vary, but I watched this fox catch three voles in about an hour. In this image, the fox has stopped and is intently listening for sounds beneath the snow.
