We will return to Park Omega main lodge for lunch. While at lunch there is opportunities to photopgraph small birds and other small animals usually found around the lodge.

After lunch we will head back into the park and photograph the wolves up-close at a wolf compound located deep in the park. This is a great location to spend time photographing the wolves with beautiful forest and hills for our backdrop.
