Please bookmark my website and the Upcoming
Safaris page (LINK)
for the most accurate schedule of safaris.
Next Up
- Southern Utah Fall Colors Safari on
October 27-30. Unlike the fall colors in
Colorado, which are mostly the yellows of Aspen
and Cottonwoods, those same colors in Zion are
accented with Rocky Mountain Maples, which are a
vibrant red color, and along the Narrows Trail
the maples are stunning. (LINK)
- November is all about bobcat safaris on
November 10-11, 12, 24, and 30. December
is also a heavy bobcat safari month with safaris
on December 3, 8-9, 15, 29. (LINK)
- December 7 is a California Coast Wildlife
Safari that starts with Northern Elephant Seals
that are pupping near San Simeon, tule elk in
the rut, sea otters at Morro Bay, wintering
Monarch Butterflies at Pismo Beach (needs to be
cold), and finishes back at the Elephant Seals.

Images from the Bobcat Safaris
Stalking the backroads of the American West
for bobcats is one of my favorite past-times as
a wildlife photographer. They are
difficult to find, and difficult to photograph -
and just elusive, so getting images other than
shots in a field are rare. I've been lucky
enough to have had encounters with them under
just about every situation - in trees, hunting
off rocks, with gophers in their mouths, or
quail, or rabbits, or squirrels. I've seen
them act cozy around coyotes as if they were old
friends, and ignore large groups of turkeys and
their dangerous, sharp spurs. While they
primarily hunt rodents, large tomcats can take
deer if an opportunity presents itself.
The bobcat safaris I lead go all day -
dark-to-dark, and we usually have encounters
with other wildlife, like badgers, coyotes,
raptors, owls, blacktail deer, various birds,
and feral pigs. I've seen a number of
lions, though I have only had photo opportunites
in the northern Rockies. (LINK)
