Ovando Valley – Images by Jason Savage
Wow, where did summer go? Hard to believe we’re into September and fall is coming up here soon! I’ve spent the last few weeks traveling and getting caught up on some things at home and for the first time since I can remember I actually took a few weeks off from shooting.

Yikes! Putting the down the camera’s a hard one sometimes, but it’s a great way to give your senses a rest and come back with some fresh perspective.

Last night I finally made it out and took a trip up to the Blackfoot Valley near Ovando, Montana. This area is such a rich place with an amazing diversity of wildlife throughout the valley.

Things are starting to pick up, with many birds starting to migrate through the area. There’s especially a large number of Sandhill Cranes in the Valley right now as well.

There have also been a fair number of grizzlies moving through the area, but unfortunately didn’t see any this weekend.

Here’s a few shots from last night.
