Great Grey Owl

Great Horned Owl nest, Denali National Park, Alaska.

I have never had a close look at a Great Horned Owl, so to see one on a nest with two chicks was a real treat!  Now, back into the park.  (Note: Thank you Calvin for the heads up on the species, I have made the correction).

Off to Denali!

wolf

A wild wolf in Denali last night.

Yesterday I hit the road and made the long drive to Denali National Park.  I arrived at about 10:30 last night, and since it was still light out, I decided to drive a few miles into the park for a look see.  Much to my surprise, I came across this wolf along the road just 8 miles into the Park!  She was a beauty!  This was close enough to capture this with a 100-400!  What a great start.Read More

Nature Valley Bus Stop Sign

Like yesterday’s image, the above poster was also part of the market test in LA; here is my original post and photo on that story.  The image was from the Hidden Falls Trail in Grand Teton last year at this time.

So it is really exciting to report this image was also licensed for unlimited nationwide bus stop signage for one year, along with some other uses!Read More

Nature Valley Billboard

Last winter I shared the original version of this photo in my Seward comes to Los Angeles post, and talked about how it was going to appear on billboards in the Los Angeles area over a 12 week period – this is how the actual billboard looked.

What I didn’t know; this was a test market, and fortunately the test went well.  So now Nature Valley and their ad agency liscended the image for unlimited billboard use nationwide for one year!  It will appear primarily in hispanic markets in major cities across the U.S.  Pretty cool.

Cow Moose

A cow moose in first morning light near Seward, Alaska.

Newborn moose should be dropping any time right now, if they haven’t already.  I made the rounds early in the morning, but did not find any new calves.  This female still had last years calf with her.  It was good to see a yearling; young moose have a difficult time surviving a deep snowy winter like this past one.
