Terri’s color challenge: “November’s color theme includes shades of brown and shades of auburn (a rich, brownish red). You are welcome to include images of both colors or pick one to highlight.”
When I first read Terri’s challenge I had no idea what kind of brown things to include. When I realizied that I’ve seen plenty of brown wildlife during our travels I knew what to do.
Wildlife photography is my favorite type of photography. Seeing wild creatures in their natural habitat is always a thrill. For this challenge I’m including some of my favorite brown animals and birds.
The first gallery features Brown Bears in Alaska and British Columbia, White Tailed deer in Virginia, Bison in South Dakota, and Elk in Canada.
I chose some of my favorite birds the bird gallery: an Osprey, an American Bald Eagle, Brown Pelicans, a hawk and a juvenile White Ibis. The Osprey is in Georgia, the Eagle in Alaska, and the rest of the birds are in Florida.
It’s not always easy to capture photos of wild animals when I spot them but it sure is fun to try. Sometimes it’s just pure luck to be in the right place at the right time with the right camera lens.

Terri, I agree! Wildlife is wonderful to see in the wild. I’m glad you enjoyed the images. Yellowstone is a great place to see Bison. The bison photo was taken in Custer State Park, South Dakota. It’s another great place to see Bison. I hope you get them see them soon! Thanks for the challenge.

They better watch out when they ask you for ‘brown,’ because you can produce!

Judy, none of the other images I found with brown subjects were very interesting so I had to go with wildlife and birds. I’m glad you liked them.

Curt, many thanks. We spotted a couple of these animals on the side of the road so we pulled over so I could try to take some pictures. Luckily I had my camera with me.

Marsha, many thanks! Yes, thank goodness for my zoom lens! I didn’t want to get too close to those bears or bison!

I agree with that! I had the privilege of getting close to a herd of elk with my zoom lens a few years ago. I was closer physically than my husband was comfortable with, but so were lots of other who had stopped in the middle of the road to let them cross. They didn’t seem to even notice us.
