Sheep, Bears and Eagles

I just took a little drive for work from Northern BC to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. As usual there were a number of animals on the way. I didn't bother taking any shots of the buffalo as I already have a number of pictures of them. I did see a coyote but didn't manage to get a great shot. In Northern BC I came across these Stone Sheep.

They even had little babies with them.

There were a number of black bears along the way. This time of year they are 4 legged lawnmowers. They hardly look up as they make their way along the grass filled ditches.

I managed to see two sets of a mother bears with two little cubs. The cubs are so cute when they are this young.

When I got to Whitehorse I found a bunch of bald eagles. They seemed to be getting harassed by the ravens every time they fly around.

Thanks for looking at the photos. As usual if you have any comments or questions, just fire away.

wonderful series Dan, really like the eagle in B&W and peak-a-boo is just priceless

What a wonderful set. My favourite is definitely the peek-a-boo shot. That's freakin' priceless. :thumbup:

so where's that coyote picture??

great series. you've got an eye for what I call the Audubon approach - including behavior in your portraits. makes all the difference.

fabulous set! Love the sharpness and variety. My fave are the cutie bears too, but those eagle shots are also way striking.

VERY nice sets Dan
I like the Bears

Fred..

you know, if you changed this to Rams, Bears & Eagles you could start an NFL thread.

Very cool set!! Babies are always winners and that little bear steals the show! Excellent sharpness in the photos too.

Amazing set as always Dan. Love them all, for different reasons, can't pick a fave.

these are awesome! Love the peek a boo shot.
