For 7 "Bucks" I will

So last night I stopped in Ennis Montana for the night. I drove the local lake and snapped a few pictures of some deer (Pluse a few other animals for another post). This first shot has Seven Bucks in it. I don't think I've ever seen that many in one place.
There were a few Fawns that were by the road. Now I was here in July and there were Fawns they were new born to a few weeks old. So by now they should be spot free... But this place is... Strange. Lets start this off with twin Fawns.
Now I said this place was strange and I wasn't kidding, look what else I found.
Post will be comming in often, I'm still out and about. I'm at Turnbull in the morning then heading south after a trip around the park. See you in the next post.

Adventures With Duck starts now

Image
So I have finally taken the jump into retirement. My feet have pushed me into doing this, but I am ready. My last day at work was yesterday (at the time of writing this post) Today and the next few days will be sorting and packing. Then I will head for Oregon which will be my new home. I will be stopping by my brothers place for a few days. He has a project he wants some help with. I like working with him we get shit done as it should be. Then he and I will head to the new place to hang my hat. He knows all the cool spots down there to fish, and if its a good place to fish that means its a good place for wildlife.... That ticks the two best boxes of my world. Now I know I haven't posted on here in a long while, but that was by design. I have been out taking pictures like crazy and have tons to share on here, but not knowing when I will have time to get out when I first get moved I wanted to have plenty of backup content. Over the next week I may not post again as I will...

Here There Be Dragons

Image
So as some of you know I have moved to South western Oregon. Where I live there are tons of places to go for wildlife photos. I have become fond of taking Dragonfy pics and have been learning more about them. For one, they have remained pretty much unchanged for th last 320 million years. The only real change is their size. They went from having a Two foot wingspan to about a 3 inch wingspan. They are also thought to be the most effcient hunters on the planet with a seccess rate of 90 to 95%. What I am going to post here are photos of the Dragons and I will attempt to name them as best I can. Some maybe repeted only because the females of some of the spieces are hard to tell apart. So here we go.... This one is called a "Blue Dasher" and its a female. This one is the male. This one I see often, its a Common Whitetail Dragonfly. It has a wide body compared to the ones above. Now this one I have a little more info on. ...

The Queen Has fallen, The passing of Grizzly 399

Image
As the title states, the queen of the grizzlies, grizzly 399 has passed. She was struck by a car yesterday and did not survive. She was 28 years young, which is actually quite the advanced age for a Grizzly in the wild. I first photographed her in 2020 on my first ever trip to the greater Yellowstone area. She had 4 Cubs that year and I was lucky enough to catch her and the Cubs while they were still young. Over the years I made at least one trip a year to photograph her. I wasn't always successful, (She obviously didn't get the memo that i was coming over to see her.) My first trip to Yellowstone this year I was able to catch her and her Cub Spirit at the side of the road, which she was famous for doing. That was on my birthday and that day was the best day of wildlife photography ever.Here are the last photos I took of her. Not being able to photograph 399 again is a real let down, but is one I have been preparing for with her advanced age. The last few year...
