The Wildlife Select page is a compilation Portfolio displaying a wide variety of birds and animals.
This page, along with the Assorted Animals and Assorted Birds Showcase pages, offers a superb
opportunity to see a lot of species by visiting just a few pages. I’ve been told that they are intoxicating.

Click for 1000 x 1553 version

On Mino Mountain above Osaka Japan, a troop of wild monkeys
left the forest after a rainstorm to dry their feet, just as I arrived in the area.
I took a number of studio-style portraits with the forest as a background, using
a 135mm f/2 lens wide open (at f/2) to blur the forest and isolate the monkeys.

Red-Naped Sapsucker
This little fellow was hanging out in front of the Post Office in Mammoth Hot Springs,
Yellowstone National Park. He had decided that pecking on the metal sign made more noise
than pecking on a tree, and would bring him more mates. He also tried it on the metal telephone pole.

Sparky X2263
Sparky is Red Canyon’s Resident Rodent.
Red Canyon is bright orange due to the high
concentration of Bentonite in the soil. It lies on
Hwy 12 and is the entrance to the Bryce Canyon
area from Hwy 89 ( from Zion NP and Panguitch).
Sparky keeps the visitors entertained as he lives
right next to the Visitor’s Center in a very well
designed (prairie dog built) den. If you are
in the area, stop by... and say hi for me.

Taft Pt. Golden Mantle 3437
I ran into this Golden Mantle Squirrel during a training session in Yosemite. He was munching on a flower atop the plateau at Taft Point (at 7500 feet, 3300 feet over the valley floor). At right, you can see his reaction to an almond... I don’t think they have too many almond trees in the area. He seemed shocked.
He also got a cashew. A good day.
