    Lucky you! I am from Germany and, I am pretty sure you can't imagine, but here is literally no chance to have such close encounters with animals in the wilderness as you just showed us with the Owl. The wild animals here are way more shy, without a hide it's nearly impossible to do wonderful pictures as you are doing. Amazing stuff, really great fun to watch. Thumbs up, Steve! Best greetings from Germany. Michael.

    Whoa! A Martin, cinnamon black bear with a cub and then great grey eating dinner and swooping close. Can’t get better than that. Cool hat!

    What a cooperative owl....I am thinking he is one of those paid pet owls we read about all the time...!

    Great video as usual, Steve. Been watching your videos for quite sometime, and am truly jealous of your awesome work. I live over in Tetonia and have lived up here since 2016. You really motivate me to improve my photography and also my time outdoors in general. Thanks for another great video. Can't wait for the next one.

    @rikarthur8969 Před rokem

    Steve, thank you again for another wonderful insight into your world. Brilliant images, useful fieldcraft notes, how lucky you are to have such varied wildlife on your doorstep. It's too many years since I visited Jackson Hole and then it was for skiing. Tom Manglesen's gallery kickstarted my love of nature photography and your videos have refreshed my interest in revisiting the Tetons. Thank you.

  • @lisatalley296
    @lisatalley296 Před rokem +1

    Oh my. That was such a fun video to watch. And what a blessing to get that close to the owl, and know it knows your there and is curious. I was lucky to be visiting my mom who had a pair of young hawks next to her house. They would screech at her and she’d sing to them. I was able to have eye contact with them for minutes at a time as they practiced flying and resting. There’s just nothing like that😊

    Unbelievable! You give us the impression that these great gray owls don´t care about humans at all. What a lucky place to be! I wish the eagle owl would hunt in broad daylight like this. Awesome footage that makes me want to go out again immediately.
    Best regards from Germany :-)

  • @littlerapidsphotography2554

    What a great feeling it is to experience those type of encounters! Great video Steve! Were you using the Wimberley MonoGimbal? I really like mine.

  • @chuckgmanleyphotos7197

    With a few years of watching there is a sub theme when available. This time the squirrel and owl, has been Bison, Elk, Im sure a bear, etc. All could also use an on screen disclaimer. It happens.
    What good luck on this day! Thanks for sharing!!!
