A nanny mountain goat in light flurries in the canyons outside Salt

Lake.

This cow was hot on the trail of a large bull heading back into the

thick aspen. She took a few sips, heard his croaking in the trees and

headed off at a trot.

I am excited to share that Winter Billy was selected by Natural

History Museum of Utah for inclusion in its Utah Wilderness 50

Exhibition. The Exhibit will display 50 photos representing Utah

wilderness in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the

Wilderness Act of 1964. The exhibition runs from September 3, 2014

to December 31, 2014.

Using my car as a blind I had spent a few minutes observing this

Canadian black bear eating, then it turned the tables and sat down

and observed me.

Kananaskis Country.

Late winter nanny, I found her pose interesting but wonder how

others might respond.

Jim,

Thank you, hunting mountain goats with a camera is a challenge and a blast. Oddly I have found the greatest success stalking from above.

Cheers, Brad

The last of a group, this yearling was pretty cautious, then made a

break for it.

Early spring from 2013 calendar collection. Checkout the rest all

taken in 2012.

Moose communication is wonderfully straight forward. She wanted

me to move so she just started walking toward me. Quick footing to

the side 20 feet and she was content to walk on past.

Early summer buck calm enough to check out the photographer

before bounding away.

The older deer all scrabbled away, but this fawn stayed low and

hidden.

One of five moose just up from an early morning nap. They just kept

popping up out of the willows much to my amazement.

Yearling bull and his mother air our their disagreements. More from

the sequence can be found in my portfolio.

A yearling bull (right) and what I take to be his mother having a

disagreement. She chased him around quite a bit, even kicking at

him.

A little young mountain goat in Glacier N.P. A nice treat to see it so

close, typically the Utah mountain goats are gone long before you

can get close.

This young cow was one of five moose hanging-out together. She

was the only swimmer that morning.
