While I don't especially concider myself a wildlife photographer, I enjoy
photographing " critters" as I come across them..
It is a joy.
Most of these are in the wild... several in Zoos or sanctuarys..(identified)

Buffalo are dark and thus difficult to photograph.

I almost stepped on this guy..comming around a bush...
But she was so busy scarffing down blueberries,
she didn;t pay me any mind...

Pronghorn Antelope are generally very shy, bolting at
the first sign of a human; nearly impossible to approach....
I've had good luck ( skill in approaching animals ) . These youngsters actually
approached ME, out of curiosity about the "click/whir" of
my camera.Finally "momma" chased them off, from the "dangerous" human.

Trumpeter Swans are my favorite Birds. It is a Joy to watch them flying. Once
endangered, the population is making a strong comeback.

Chipmunks and Ground Squirrels are quick, always moving, so it;s actually difficult to photograph them
