The Northern Yosemite region contains a rich diversity of wildlife species. Many of those species were featured in the 400+ photographs submitted for our recent CSERC wildlife photo contest. Here are a few of the compelling pictures that didn’t win a prize, but certainly were top rated. We praise all the photographers who were talented enough and patient enough to get such impressive pictures.
