14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Eye to Eye: American Marten

Eye to Eye: American Marten Yellowstone National Park American Marten, near Norris Junction. Look closely into this marten’s eyes, you can clearly see the scene before it reflected there. A wildlife photographer must always be prepared for potential subjects. This photo was a result of this preparation, and a bit of luck. While stopping for a break while snowmobiling through the park, this marten chose to pay me a visit.
