While driving through Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming (at 44.9° N, 110.5° W, 2122 m elevation), on 22 April 2019, I came across a Clark’s Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) standing in the opposing lane of traffic. The nutcracker had a live Western Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma mavortium) in its bill. Intrigued by the scene, I pulled into a nearby roadway turnout and began to photograph this interaction between predator and prey.
