A bobcat enjoying the spring morning at Wildlife Prairie Park outside Edwards, IL
On April 2nd, I headed outside into the great outdoors with my Canon 5D Mark III and Tamron 150-600mm G2 telephoto-zoom lens for a morning hike at Wildlife Prairie Park near Edwards, IL. I ended up photographing quite a bit of spring wildlife and animals at the zoo on this day. I occasionally try to visit this park every year since it is so close to home. The animals seemed to be very pleased to be outside in the cool spring temperatures it appeared on this day as I was able to capture some engaging shots during the morning. I've added several photos from the morning photographing wildlife at the park below:
A Eastern bluebird was a great find!
One of my favorite shots of a wolf on this morning!
"Ready for take-off"

"Inquisitive wolf"

I love this one in black n' white as well!
