In Search of the Great Gray

Having lived in Jackson Hole for over thirty years, nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen knows the habits and behaviors of the valley's wildlife. For 15 years Tom has wanted to photograph a great gray owl in a snowy conifer, but the "phantom of the north" almost always remains elusive. Watch as Tom searches for and photographs a great gray owl at the forest's edge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Great shot man. I was in north eastern Idaho and got an incredible opportunity to photograph a Great Grey. One of those moments just takes your breath away.

Wildlife photography is 100% Luck,100% Patience and 50% skill. Anyone can snap a photo. But being in the right place at the right time thats most of the battle, with the Teton mountains as your backdrop your almost guaranteed a great shot. Like a photo of a grizzly and a hapless trout jumping into the jaws of death. One in a million shots...excellent photography nonetheless. Doesn't matter how you get the shot just that you get it.
