<p>This was taken at the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota. I had the good fortune of talking to this young lady... Hoop dancing has been a Lakota tradition for a very long time. They used to use willow hoops way back when.<br> 5D Mark III – EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS</p><div></div>

<p>Laura,<br> Thanks, saw bears at both locations (and others). This particular sequence played out in Hayden Valley.</p>

<p>Well last week I posted a photo of a wolf at at kill in Yellowstone NP and I promised to show the infamous bear known as "Scarface" that took over the kill. Not much green but a promise is a promise! Again this photo was taken at an extreme distance with a 500mm lens + 1.4x converter and severely cropped. All about the content in this case. Sadly a short time after I took this photo an experienced hiker who was employed at the park was attacked, killed and eaten by a female grizzly and her cubs. The Mother was captured and destroyed and the cubs sent to a zoo.</p><div></div>

<p>Laura,<br> It is my guess that the kill is either an elk or buffalo calf. Something much larger than a goose for sure.</p>

<p>This photo is more about the content than the technicalities. It was taken at an extreme distance with a 500mm + 1.4 tc then severely cropped. The wolf eats at it's kill as the Raven and Bald Eagle await their turn. Later on a grizzly took over the kill. A rather famous one at that... the Yellowstone Grizzly known as Scar Face. I will post him next week!</p><div></div>

<p>Hmmmm, I purchased a 7D shortly after they were introduced and never had any AF issues nor have I heard of anything notorious about it. I have since upgraded to a 7DII and 5DIII combo as AF systems continue to evolve. Still have and use the original 7D.</p>

<p>Robin,<br> All look visible to me .... or is something wrong on the one I posted? I only ask because your comment is right after my photo!</p>

Thanks for the kind comments. Cary, gotta love all things that are happy, a good lesson for all of us. Gail, Nicely put. When we can connect (real or imagined) it seems to add to the enjoyment. These days I feel connections with all things in nature. Maybe a sure sign of insanity lol! -
Gail, Thanks again! Yeah, I love the Loons also. Just got back from a little trip and have added a few hundred more to my already overstocked library of Loon photo’s lol. To me every one of them seem unique and I never tire of photographing them. Waking to the haunting cry of the loon is one of my favorite things. The lens … well I have been fortunate enough to be able to upgrade my photo gear to all I have wanted it to be. Every day we have is a great day and we must pursue our passions and enjoy life to the fullest. I know it sounds a bit cliché, but at some point things happen to make us realize the important things in life I guess! -
Gail, Thanks so much for your kind words. Earlier this spring I was unable to walk with out the aid of crutches due to some health issues and the whole backyard birds thing proved to be my therapy. I would hobble out and sit for hours observing and taking a few photographs. I have since shed the crutches and have moved on to nature photography in other locations, yet I find myself drawn back to my little bird sanctuary and still spend a lot of time there. I guess sometimes the things we seek have been right in front of us all along. I have always known the value of patience but this kind of took it to a new level for me. -
