Photo Of The Day By Dawn Wilson

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Ahhh, That Feels Good” by Dawn Wilson. Location: Estes Park, Colorado.

“At the very beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, I realized, as I was sitting by myself in my truck photographing this elk and magpie, that social distancing was easy for a wildlife photographer,” says Wilson. “The bonus was this funny shot of what appeared to be an elk and magpie having a funny conversation. This bull elk just dropped his antlers the night before and these expressions almost made it look like he was telling the bird how good his shoulders and neck felt without that extra weight. This shot was taken just 15 minutes from my home in Estes Park.”

Nikon D4S. Exposure: 1000mm, 1/640 sec., f/14, ISO 400.
