Marty’s photo of the day #4720: That moment when you realize they’re gonna make you swim and discover that you were born with hooves, not fins.

Baby bison cuteness
Marty’s photo of the day #4669: Here’s a little baby bison cuteness for your Wednesday. (Photographed in Yellowstone National Park)
Yellowstone all alone
Marty’s photo of the day #4295: The challenge at Yellow National Park is to get away from the tourists as quickly as possible. Deb and I accomplished that on a magical day, where we hiked into an area we had to ourselves, along with a herd of bison backed by a beautiful waterfall.
Selfishness on the prairie
Marty’s photo of the day #4235: This shot is from last September, during Deb’s, Nellie’s, and my second weeklong stay in the American Prairie of central Montana. Before I moved to Montana, in 1996, I had no opinion of ranchers, but since then ranchers have convinced me that they are among the most selfish people […]
Pronghorns and antelopes
Marty’s photo of the day #4105: Pronghorns, bison, and coyotes were animals Deb and I saw in both parts of our split American Prairie Reserve (Montana) and Antelope Island (Utah) vacation last month. Of course, the animal in today’s photo, correctly called a pronghorn in Montana, would commonly be called an antelope on Antelope Island. […]
Antelope Island bison
Marty’s photo of the day #4091: Between 500 and 700 bison live on Antelope Island (located in the Great Salt Lake of Utah). Two weeks ago, Deb and I hiked toward the far end of the island, passing by a herd with a huge bull. Then, as we approach the island’s tip, we came across […]
Crossing the Madison River
Marty’s photo of the day #4002: A bison calf, not all that happy that mom forced her to cross the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park. But she made it!
Amazing Acrobat Coyotes
Marty’s photo of the day #3788: This is one of the Amazing Acrobat Coyotes of Antelope Island, performing the difficult but crowd-pleasing “one paw stand with bison hide blindfold.” (Photographed on Antelope Island in Utah)
Prairie vs. ranchland
Marty’s photo of the day #3719: This is our tent site, from earlier this month, at Buffalo Camp on the American Prairie Reserve. It’s not an exciting photo, but I wanted to point out how green the landscape was. As we drove south out of Malta, Montana, we followed fifty miles of gravel roads until […]
The Bison Roll
Marty’s photos of the day #3718: I shot this series of bison photos during our first day in Montana’s American Prairie Reserve. Our tent, at Buffalo Camp, was a two minute walk away. I thought about attaching speech bubbles to the photos, but ultimately decided they would detract too much from the scene. Instead I […]
Swallows on the American Prairie Reserve
Marty’s photo of the day #3717: As a wildlife photographer, I’m naturally drawn to animals of the more exotic variety. But sometimes common animals, like this barn swallow and chick, are just waiting to show that they can be interesting subjects too. While visiting Montana’s American Prairie Reserve earlier this month, Deb, Nellie, and I […]
The American Prairie Reserve! (Post #1)
Marty’s photos of the day #3715: Last night, my wife Deb, our dog Nellie, and I returned from six fabulous days in the American Prairie Reserve. Few people know about this wonderful, remote Montana treasure—and admittedly I’m quite tempted to stay quiet about it. Located along the Missouri River, in north-central Montana, it is one […]
Just you and me!
Marty’s photo of the day #3259: “Come on Don Junior! Just you and me. How brave are you without gun?”
Going for a swim
Marty’s photo of the day #3218: “Mom! Mom! We really don’t like this.” (Bison, photographed in Yellowstone National Park)
Big Boy Bison
Marty’s photo of the day #3143: This is one of my favorite bison photos. He’s such a big boy! (Photographed in Yellowstone National Park)
Baby bison
“Squirrel!” said the dog
Marty’s photo of the day #3095: Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I know exactly what I’m going to post for my photo of the day. Other times, I search my hard drive hoping to find a special image that I completely forgot that I made. Today’s golden-mantled ground squirrel is the latter. […]
Baby bison and the river crossing
Marty’s photo of the day #2981: This is a mother and baby bison, after swimming across a river in Yellowstone National Park. The baby was not at all happy about their adventure.
Imagine a frosty face
Marty’s photo of the day #2894: My favorite bison photos are those taken in the winter, when they are white with frost. I plan to go to Yellowstone National Park in the winter sometime soon. In the meantime, here’s an extreme close-up for you. Just imagine how much cooler he’d be with a frosty face.
Happy Mother’s Day
Marty’s photo of the day #2887: Happy Mother’s Day! (Photographed last weekend in Yellowstone National Park)
