Onaqui In Winter

Winter is the most difficult time to photograph the Onaqui Herd. Last year they spent nearly the entire winter months tucked away in an area that was inaccessible. We have gone out this winter several times in an attempt to photograph them in a snowstorm. There are several factors working against this: 1. It is difficult to find them if the clouds are low. 2. If there is going to be a storm, can you even find where the her is. 3. If you can find them, are the roads too muddy to get to them. 4. Are they too high on the mountain to get to.

Luckily we have had a few successes. These images are from two separate trips. We were lucky to find them, and the roads were very muddy but we didn’t get stuck. Looking forward to a few more trips before spring.
