Celebrating America’s 250th the only way I can tonight: with mountain goats, wildflowers, and a little high-country chaos from 10,000ft. 🇺🇸🐐

Have a safe and wonderful Fourth, everyone!

Near-dark early morning moments like this, with hardly any other people around and intimate moments with these animals, makes me thankful for my f2.8 telephoto lens and the low-light capabilities of cameras these days.

One of those wildlife moments that happens in an instant.

As I watched this sub-adult grizzly bear feeding along The Beartooth Highway earlier this month, a truck rushed by on the roadway without slowing down. The bear immediately stood upright in a flash to investigate the sound, panning along to follow the truck until it rounded the next bend, before returning to its normal routine grazing.

A brief moment of curiosity, only a few split seconds that would've been easy to miss, that resulted in one of my favorite images from that morning.
