Post Your Best Wildlife Images From 2024!

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

Really difficult to pick only a few. These shots represent several trips I took this year. The first one is from Grand Teton NP and is an ode to 399 & her cub, Spirit, this was my first time photographing her and I'm happy that I got to photograph her before she died, after trying for several years. The second one, a black bear cub, was taken in Yellowstone NP. The juvenile bald eagle was taken on an island outside of Homer, AK, where a group of photographers were dropped off in the snow for four hours to photograph eagles! The pheasant, a shot I've tried to get at various times throughout the year on my travels, was taken in my yard! The polar bear shot was taken outside of Churchill, Canada, on Hudson Bay, the young male bears were sparring. The Puffin shot was taken on an island called Île aux Perroquets outside of Longue-Point-de-Mingan, Quebec, Canada. The Sandhill Crane is from my most recent trip, December, to Bosque del Apache in New Mexico.

Happy New Year to All!

Wow! Nice set and LOVE the egret!
 
Always nice to see people's favorite wildlife photos of the year.
I wasn't consistent with wildlife photography this year but had a nice week in Botswana and a few days in Hungary.

It's that time of year again - post 5-7 of your favorite / best wildlife images from 2024. I know it's tough and if you can't pick "best" pick favorites - that's what I did LOL.

Please keep all your images in a single post. I'm looking forward to seeing them!

Here are my (current) favorites from 2024, although I still have so many more to process.
