Wrapping up the end of day two in Grand Teton National Park.

(Full post, with additional photos, on my site: andrewflenniken.com/2025/03/07)

After being awed by the ghosts of the Tetons, I pulled my jaw up off the ground and hopped back in the Jeep. I figured that I'd finish the day where it started, in the Oxbow Bend area. I'd noticed in the morning that there was a road going around to the the other side of the Bend, a place the map labeled "Cattleman's Bridge Site". There was no signage off the main road for it, but it looked promising.  So after grabbing a last shot of Mount Moran for the day, down I went.

Color photo. Three Common Merganser ducks, swimming from left to right. One is slightly ahead of the other two. They are have reddish heads, orange bills, with grey and white bodies. The water is softly rippled, reflecting the green of unseen trees.

A couple of wildlife photos, in honor of World Wildlife Day.

Wildlife should matter to everyone, and does whether they realize it or not. Our environment is a system of systems, and those natural systems interact with human built ones in a multitude of ways large and small. Wildlife are the ambassadors for those systems. Healthy abundant wildlife means healthy wilderness, which makes those points of contact with human systems healthy. If you like clean air and clean water and the things that rely on them (hint: it's everything), wildlife and wilderness play a big role in those things existing. Defending them is self-defense. We're not separate from them in any meaningful way except physical distance.

Frequently not even that! The photos in today's post were taken in a town park (the elk), and on an afternoon whale watching tour.

Wildlife is closer than you think. Go see some! You'll enjoy it.

Gear: Nikon D750, Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3, Sigma 1.4 Teleconverter

Color photo. A line of rocks, with sea lions resting on it. There is water in front of, and behind the rocks. In the distant background the shore is visible, with a sandy beach and green trees. Two of the sea lions, in the center of the photo, are reared up, facing off against each other.
