Hi John! Where you know the common name of the species, please could you look up & add the scientific name - it is very easy to do on a Google search. That takes the spotting out of the "unknown" list. We would also appreciate it if you could add a reference link & complete some info in the details field for your spottings.
If you got a wolf howling in the foreground this would make an epic t-shirt! On a serious note...this is an awesome spotting.
well captured snap!!
