The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) is one of the premier wildlife photography destinations in the world. Shawn Stewart, born and raised on the north edge of the GYE in Livingston, has been fortunate enough to be working as a wildlife biologist for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks in this special place for over 50 years. Over that time, he has been involved in research projects on both black and grizzly bears, bighorn sheep, mule deer, white-tails, mountain lions, and elk, along with sage, dusky and ruffed grouse.
From greater short-horned lizards to grizzly bears and from hummingbirds to eagles Shawn has been capturing images of wildlife in the GYE since he first picked up a camera as a teenager. His photos have been published in Montana Outdoors and Wyoming Wildlife, as well as Orion and Ursus magazines. In 2013 his photo of a northern flicker won the grand prize in the Wyoming Wildlife annual photo contest. He has contributed numerous photos to various technical bulletins and books.
The program is free and open to the public. Join us for coffee and cookies at 6:30 p.m.
