Lucky you! I am from Germany and, I am pretty sure you can't imagine, but here is literally no chance to have such close encounters with animals in the wilderness as you just showed us with the Owl. The wild animals here are way more shy, without a hide it's nearly impossible to do wonderful pictures as you are doing. Amazing stuff, really great fun to watch. Thumbs up, Steve! Best greetings from Germany. Michael.
He’s barking at you dude! Lol!
What a cooperative owl....I am thinking he is one of those paid pet owls we read about all the time...!
The bear yawning with sound .....Priceless..... Keep up the good work Steve
Thanks, will do!
Whoa! A Martin, cinnamon black bear with a cub and then great grey eating dinner and swooping close. Can’t get better than that. Cool hat!
.. He looked straight at you like, "Dude, did you get that?" As always, thanks for the great video Steve.
Dude, what a great day but what made this one more enjoyable was the addition of the Ice Cube lyrics! Next time I’m sitting on a swift fox den that’s going to be the theme song for the day
Hahaha, glad you enjoyed that, I almost edited it out…
All of these winning shots in one outing is really amazing!
Boy!! What an awesome day you had. Thanks for adding to mine.
Love the hat.
🙏
Unbelievable Joy to follow you and watch over your shoulder. I know the feeling, the world disappears and you are alone in that wonderful moment, you and them, whatever crosses your path or alarms the Squirrels. Great 'reportage'
That owl gulping down its prey was too good! Great quality footage man! Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you for letting me into your world for just a little while.
Much appreciated 🙏
That was awesome! And the owl footage with the gopher in its mouth was wicked cool! Special moments indeed
Amazing by *ANY* measure!!
Thank you! Cheers!
We live for days like that.... wonderful images
Thanks!
Fantastic footage and stills! Thanks for taking me along!
Glad you enjoyed it
Omg that marten was beautiful
True
The perfect day- incredibly rare and so beautiful! Outstanding video! I’m so jealous 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wasn't expecting him to eat it whole!
Yum
They are amazing! I had one fly between me and my sister up in the Sax Zim Bog and he was so close I felt his wing tip on my cheek. I almost pee'd my pants, lol.
Amazing!
what a fun day , I saw a Kite in my little park area yesterday & what an exciting encounter that was for me[ only 450mm lens but some good captures]
Such a great encounter with that owl ! ❤❤
Wow, what a great day Steve!
I agree👍
Sounds like the beginning of a joke. Two bears, a marten, and an owl walk into bar..... Awesome owl shots!
Thanks!
That was awesome, especially the great grey owl snack!
Thanks!
Fantastic! one in a lifetime ocasion, so nice. Thank you for sharing that moment.
So I had the opportunity to spend a few days in the woods around Leadville, CO last week and I came upon a meadow that reminded me of you and the Great Gray habitats you explore. And there was a squirrel barking! I looked everywhere and waited a while. Nothing! Thanks for another great video!
Darn! It’s still fun searching…
You nailed it. Awesome trio
So Awesome Steve!!
Amazing shots, Steve. Thanks for taking us there and sharing!
Thanks for watching
Happy to see you managed another day out there and the reward for it was great! Incredible work as always.
Thanks again!
Absolutely amazing!!!
Days like that are the ones we try to top in the future.
Someday…
Fantastic work, Steve!
Fantastic encounters, Steve! It’s always magical when wild animals allow you into their space and come close to you in a non-threatening encounter!
Thanks Vaughn👍
I loved every second of this video. Thank you!
That was a good day in the woods. Love the assortment of predators.
Awesome group of photos. You indeed had a great day!
You probably already know, but per another wildlife photographer youtuber 399 has emerged with a cub
That was awesome! What great captures. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful encounters. That owl was just so cooperative, and was nice to see the bears comfortable with you there, and the way you respect them too. Thanks for sharing the video with us.
Thank you very much!
What an awesome day! Great photos and video!
Thanks so much!
The perfect day in the woods Steve!
True!

Thanks for watching!
Beautiful shots Steve. You had a great day.
Yes it was
It was a good day indeed!!
Fantastic stills, awesome video. Oh, good tune too.👍👍
Thanks 👍
Always enjoy your videos and photographs. The Tetons and Yellowstone are some of my favorite places. Always try to get there at least once a year.
Fabulous! Cool video!
Thank you very much!
One of the best vids yet !! I couldn’t imagine having a big grey like that coming in that close !!
Thanks!
Oh my. That was such a fun video to watch. And what a blessing to get that close to the owl, and know it knows your there and is curious. I was lucky to be visiting my mom who had a pair of young hawks next to her house. They would screech at her and she’d sing to them. I was able to have eye contact with them for minutes at a time as they practiced flying and resting. There’s just nothing like that😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing owl shots Steve. My friend has a family of Martens that visit her garden every night, but we are in northern Scotland, so are they Scottish Martens lol. Awesome video as ever
Fantastic video Steve it kind of makes it all worthwhile when you get to experience an encounter like that Wonderful photos of the owl
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video as usual, Steve. Been watching your videos for quite sometime, and am truly jealous of your awesome work. I live over in Tetonia and have lived up here since 2016. You really motivate me to improve my photography and also my time outdoors in general. Thanks for another great video. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks! You made my day🙏
Awesome hat!
🙏
Amazing Steve. We have some lovely owls in the U.K but these are something else
You are so damn lucky with those Great Grey Owls, unbelievable! Great video Steve!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Well, you had a great day! Wonderful shots; stunningly beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing shots and I loved to video with the owl eating.
Glad you enjoyed it
You are my friend and your style is fun. I wish you a happy life. Photography has become my favorite hobby. I hope I get lucky and get a super telephoto lens. Keep going my friend. Good luck.
Excellent!! I am glad you chose to include the owl eating the gopher. That was very interesting. Also, happy that you are able to get out and post more frequently. I always look forward to your vlogs.
Thanks again!
Incredible, Steve!!!!!!! Your best Great Grey Owl encounter yet!! Wow!!!Those flight shots are winners!! Loved the bear tree too!!!!
Thank you very much🙏
Steve, What a remarkable video - thanks for sharing. Such outstanding images! It was like the great gray owl was wanting to show off for you. Truly amazing photography and the photo through the bushes -- WOW what tracking!
Many thanks!
With a few years of watching there is a sub theme when available. This time the squirrel and owl, has been Bison, Elk, Im sure a bear, etc. All could also use an on screen disclaimer. It happens.
What good luck on this day! Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh, checking the “link” for the hat
Nice!
That was great!. I think that Owl was use to you being around and not scared of you. Your shots were awesome .
Awesome so wonderful film. Big Like & thanks for sharing so amazing film. Big like
Big thanks
Steve, thank you again for another wonderful insight into your world. Brilliant images, useful fieldcraft notes, how lucky you are to have such varied wildlife on your doorstep. It's too many years since I visited Jackson Hole and then it was for skiing. Tom Manglesen's gallery kickstarted my love of nature photography and your videos have refreshed my interest in revisiting the Tetons. Thank you.
You are very welcome🙏
My favorite videos of yours are always when you come upon a GGO! The excitement is genuine and it shows in your images!! Not a better sequence than the owl downing that field mouse….great stuff!!
I’m glad you are getting out again!! Thanks for sharing!!🦉
Oh, yeah…sweet image of the marten!!
Wow, thank you!
Hi Steve !!! Great ........ Great video !!!! All models are super !!!
Hey, thanks!
Unbelievable! You give us the impression that these great gray owls don´t care about humans at all. What a lucky place to be! I wish the eagle owl would hunt in broad daylight like this. Awesome footage that makes me want to go out again immediately.
Best regards from Germany :-)
Many thanks
I finally got my first Great Horned Owls photos this spring in Virginia and the baby owlet. I would love to get an American Marten awesome
Nice!
What a great day....
