Sharing Space



National Geographic magazine has an article this month on wolf conflicts in the western states. Similar conflicts are occurring in Wisconsin and Minnesota as the population rebounds. The Crex area actually has had a decrease in wolves since last year with the black pack reportedly moving to Minnesota. Wolves are motivated by food and the dining is better in Minnesota right now. A common factor in each wolf controversy is the emotional argument, usually emphasizing the superiority of man and his right to dominate. Millions of years before man animals were getting along. These images show a scene I have frequently photographed with predator and prey sharing the same space.

I get a kick out of the temperature on the deer pic. That snow should melt really really fast.
