A white rhino grazes at the end of the day in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. The main difference between the white rhino and the black rhino (other than there are a lot more of the white in existence) is the shape of the mouth. The black rhino has more of a pointed lip for picking fruit off of bushes, whereas the white rhino has a flat, wide lip more suited for grass feeding. In fact, another name for the white rhino is the square-lipped rhinoceros. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 310mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/250th of a second.
I shot this image of a crimson-rumped toucanet through the glass of my lodge window while staying in the cloud forest of Ecuador (unfortunately, the windows didn’t open). He didn’t allow me to see his namesake crimson rump, but did have the common courtesy to at least display a bit of feeding behavior. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/640th of a second.
I came across this pine marten (and a friend) just outside of Yellowstone National Park near the northeastern entrance in the town of Silver Gate, Montana. The two were chasing each other around in the snow by a wood pile and across a few fallen logs. They didn’t last long before scurrying back into the woods.

A young mountain goat walks high above the clouds near the top of Mount Evans in Colorado. Sorry that posts have been a bit intermittent as of late (or maybe that’s a good thing). Karen and I have been busy moving into our new house. Once that’s settled I’m looking forward to getting back out into the wild for all new images to share. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 35mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/400th of a second.
Tree monitors are very big lizards — three feet long or more. I spotted this one while on a boat in Khlong Saeng in Thailand. The dead trees were protruding from the water in this permanently flooded region. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 350mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second.
A young Bennett’s wallaby takes a moment to enjoy the scenery in a field near Scottsdale in Tasmania, Australia. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/400th of a second.
A panther chameleon crawls out on a reed while we were heading upriver on the east coast of Madagascar. I used my little entry level camera for this one, which I was using as a backup back in the day. Nikon D40x with Nikkor 18-55mm lens (at 18mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/320th of a second.
The grasslands of Patagonia can be a dangerous place, especially for a guanaco. Being able to spot a puma amongst the constantly flowing grasslands can be a difficult task. This particular female was on her way back to a kill that she had previously stashed in the bushes. She wasn’t hunting, but still blended almost seamlessly with the landscape. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/800th of a second.
A great egret puts a finishing touch on a nest at the Venice Rookery in Florida. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/8 at 1/3200th of a second.
Late May/early June is a great time to see bighorn lambs in Yellowstone. Although sometimes they’re not quite as easy to spot as you might think. The newborns can be the same exact color as the surrounding landscape. But when you do spot them, they’re a lot of fun to watch as they jump all around the steep mountainsides. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/250th of a second.
