Bison and Calf in Snow in Grand Teton National Park

A bison and its calf walk through snow-covered sagebrush in Grand Teton National Park.

I don’t normally like to post images of animals with their backs to me, however I think this one makes for a nice exception. Upon driving toward Kelly, Wyoming the other day in Grand Teton National Park, I came across several herds moving around the Gros Ventre Campground. That’s nothing out of the ordinary, but what was a bit out of the ordinary was the recent snow storm that came through. Bison calves are typically in scenes of green grass and wildflowers simply because that’s the only time you see them. While I’m sure I’m not the first person to capture bison calves in a fresh snow, it’s always nice if you get to be one of the few exceptions to the rules, just like this composition.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state. As a result, every animal photographed on this website was done so in its wild and natural habitat.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.

I've come to love this region much more than anywhere I've lived, and with your helpful support, I can continue to give back to this community that keeps me enthusiastic each and every day. Read more...
