I just returned from a trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone
National Park in Wyoming. The
waterfalls, geysers and mountains were beyond belief. The mammals and birds were diverse and
amazing. The trip also included drives
through rural Wyoming and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Grizzly bears and river otters eluded me, but
most other expected mountain mammal species were observed. New bird species included most of the usual western
mountain species, with the biggest surprise being a pair of Harlequin Ducks.
An American Black Bear being too busy ripping grubs from a rotting log to look up for the picture.
This is an American Dipper standing on a rock in the middle of a Yellowstone stream.
Luck was on our side as we arrived at this location just in time to see Bison crossing a river in Yellowstone.
Here is a young Common Raven standing along a road in the park.
This is a view of the Grand Teton Mountains on one foggy
morning.
