Gray Wolf – On The Alert
On The Alert This is the backstory to the making of On The Alert. My progress slogging through the deep snow was tedious and painfully slow while trying to gain position to photograph the retreating Gray Wolf pack. When a clear view was finally achieved, all I could see were bouncing backsides vanishing over the horizon … much effort, too late. Then a furtive, shadowy movement in front of me caught my attention as it eerily floated through and behind the sagebrush-steppe domain. A wolf! I held my breath and waited what seemed an eternity for an unobstructed perspective. And then it happened! Out of the scrub it came, on the alert, giving one ephemeral, incisive glance my way. Following that brief connection, the ‘gray ghost’ turned and magically melted into the vast void of the enigmatic Yellowstone sweep. ~ Anecdote and Gray Wolf capture, On The Alert © Jerry L. Ferrara
