Our day started with a pretty sunrise in Hayden Valley, a 'hot spot' for wildlife in the morning hours. |
The early morning mists cleared to reveal a Grizzly bear sow with 2 cubs feeding on a carcass. A very kind photographer allowed me to view through his scope this truly amazing sight! Hayden Valley |
Hard to see, but mama Grizzly (on left) is on the alert & turns to see or hear an intruder approaching. |
Sure enough, a much larger Grizzly running very fast in the direction of grizzly family & carcass! (he ran them off) |
Bald Eagle ( a lifer! ) - Hayden Valley |
Lone female black Wolf - Willow Park |
Another view - Black female wolf - Willow Park There were numerous sightings throughout the park area of 4-5 wolves traveling together but I was happy to get this one. |
Small brown bear (grizzly?) traveling alone, but this is the closest my lens and I would get with Mom most likely near by. Black-tail Deer Plateau |
Bull Elk - Willow Park |
Found this Gray Jay in the parking lot. Upper Falls - Canyon Village |
