One of the wolf photos cropped to emphasize her eyes.
Gordon Haber, a long time wolf biologist in Denali National Park, was killed in a plane crash 7 miles north of the Toklat River on Thursday, 10/15/09. I had met Gordon two times, he was a very caring man who dedicated his life to protecting the wolves of Denali Park and throughout the state of Alaska. He was often ridiculed by many who live here for his love of the wolf. Alaska is the only state in the Union where trapping and arieal gunning of wolves are allowed. In one instance last spring, State biologists killed an entire wolf pack from the air, landed, went to their den and slaughtered the wolf pups.
I have no photos of Gordon, but his spirit lives on in the wolves he loved.

This young fox kit was hunting in the grasses in Prudhoe Bay Alaska. She leaped many times and came up empty each time. She never stopped trying, the instincts of the predator would not let her.

A grey wolf keeps an eye on the photographer as she walks on the ice. The grey wolf is not protected in Alaska and is hunted and trapped each year. During the winter, they are gunned down by airplane as a part of the State's "Preditor Control Program."
