Musk Oxen w/young

This is from Nome, Alaska where we photograph this species each year on the trip led by Ken Archer.  I liked the setting in this one with the young calves.  They ran off soon after this so we weren't able to get close to this group of mothers and calves.

Nice shot of the cluster Nate. Would love to be there someday. Nice to see there are still some of them around.

Nice group image.  I like the snow background and the sloping tundra foreground.  You captured a real sense of place.
