OUTSTANDING FIND & CAPTUREBit surprised Mom did not try and lead you away while baby froze in the sage brush. Right to my favorites as this is one of the reason I love getting out to look for wildlife

This is really precious Michael. #9946060Michael G. Marshall January 25, 2012
Thank you Tammy, Jack, Gord, Claudia, Bobby, Carolyn, Renee and RJ for your kind feedback! I captured this shot using a 750mm lens and standing behind my car to hopefully (& it worked) not scare the mother. She was guarded, but the big lens and the use of my car as a "screen" helped me to get the shot. Momma and baby were also a fair distance away. #9946497Barbara Waldoch January 25, 2012
Excellent catch, Michael.Michael G. Marshall January 26, 2012
Thanks Barbara! The big tele helps me stay at a safe distance from the BIG critters who might may want to eat me for lunch. :) #9948010Gail Sullivan February 18, 2012
