An Evening at Oxbow Bend Series

The following series of photos were taken on one Spring evening at Oxbow Bend off the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. I had never been to this spot before. As I looked around the parking lot I noticed the only other vehicle there also had Nebraska license plates. I watched the numerous Common Mergansers on the river. Pretty soon I saw someone walk up from the river bank. I was surprised to see one of my most admired photographers, Michael Forsberg, and a friend of his walk up from the shore. Michael was friendly, as always. He was photographing Sandhill Cranes for an upcoming project. Michael said this is a great area and he would like to stay but he had a prior commitment. The next couple of hours proved to be one of my most exciting evenings of photography.
