Otter and Yellowstone Cutthroat

A northern River Otter, (Lutra cacadensis) devours a beautiful female Yellowstone Native Cutthroat Trout during the annual summer spawn.  Otters swim gracefully, run well on land, love to play and wander widely.  Unfortunately they were eliminated from many areas due to trapping and river degradation. While in spawning streams, cutthroat trout are preyed upon by numerous animals, including otters, black bears, grizzly bears and osprey.

LONE WOLF HOWLING

Lone Wolf Howling
 
Near the end of 2006, the Slough Creek wolf pack (Canis lupis) lost its alpha male in a territorial battle.  An 18-month old male wolf from the Agate Creek pack boldly claimed the alpha position and the breeding opportunity with the Slough Creek pack.  In January 2007 he became the youngest alpha male in Yellowstone National Park.

The temperature was 10 below zero F. As the morning light swept across the frozen Lamar Valley, there stood the young alpha male. He had just finished feeding on an elk and began howling for the rest of his pack.  After 69 years of being without wolves, the howl of a wild wolf in Yellowstone is both miraculous and extraordinary. The wolf has returned to Yellowstone where he has always belonged.

Historically plagued by misinformation, fear and hatred, wolves were deliberately exterminated and by 1926 the top carnivore was absent from the Yellowstone ecosystem.  The success of the wolf reintroduction will arguably stand as one of the pivotal conservation achievements of our day.
 
 

Cindy leads photographic tours for Tom Murphy's company, Wilderness Photography Expeditions and teaches Digital Asset Management and Workflow utilizing Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Tours are available year round and are customized to your photographic areas of interest and physical conditioning. Options include backcountry snowshoeing or skiing in winter, and hiking or backpacking the other seasons of the year. Cindy likes to work in small groups or one on one with clients to expand their creativity and skills while exploring and learning about the wonders of Yellowstone. One of the greatest challenges of digital photography is being able to quickly process and keep track of all the images you are creating. Speed your digital workflow, increase your creativity and maximize your time and resources. Utilizing Lightroom, Adobe's new image management application with a bit of Adobe Bridge and Photoshop, this intensive, hands-on training, will teach you how to organize, sort, process, search, automate, present, deliver and archive the thousands of images in your collection.
