A Rocky Mountain elk saunters toward higher elevation at the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Reserve in southwestern Oklahoma. This elk was photographed during the final day, and last two hours during our recent visit to the park. It was my observant wife who first spotted the elusive elk hidden in the trees. Great to have an extra pair of eyes!
Image capture: Nikon Z9/Z Nikkor 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 @400mm, f8/1000sec. The Z Nikkor 100-400mm rocks for wildlife photography! A great tool when the subject is on the move and you are limited as a photographer to move, as was the case.
