• Ground Squirrels

  Posted on Thursday July 2nd, 2009 at 11:30 in yellowstone, north american wildlife

  On our Yellowstone trip this spring, as much as all the large animals were the focus of our efforts, I really liked the smaller ones too. There were ground squirrels everywhere - though no one really seemed to notice them most of the time. I liked ...

• Coyotes

  Posted on Friday June 19th, 2009 at 14:24 in yellowstone, north american wildlife

  Coyotes were not hard to see in Yellowstone, including coyotes on fresh and older kills. As you can see, the one on the right had a radio collar, so I was wondering what they are studying and who is doing the study. I like coyotes and enjoyed each...

• Moose

  Luckily we were able to find some moose in the Lamar Valley as well. We saw three or four different cow moose (one of which is pictured on the right), and one young male (on the left). Here are a couple pics. The moose like to hang out near Cook C...

• Beaver

  Lamar Valley in Yellowstone was a nice place to see small animals as well as large. On the north side of the road we found a beaver dam, and one could easily lean out the car window and watch a beaver eating willows, swimming about, or using his tin...

• Big Horn Sheep

  Posted on Sunday June 14th, 2009 at 12:02 in yellowstone, north american wildlife

  Twice on our trip we saw big horn sheep close to the road. Once it was a small group of ewes and a ram, and the other time it was this single ram. The view of the ram was great, but there were some people who, acting like idiots, walked right up to...

• Marmot on the rocks

  Posted on Saturday June 13th, 2009 at 09:49 in yellowstone, north american wildlife

  Driving through Yellowstone we saw this nice little marmot on the rocks, getting the last of the days sun before nightfall. He/she sat for a long while, posing nicely for photos....

• Baby Bison

  Posted on Friday June 12th, 2009 at 23:39 in yellowstone, north american wildlife

  Baby bison have orange coats, so they are easy to spot. We saw tons of them - playing, romping, bouncing, napping and nursing. It was very cool!!! I loved just sitting beside the road and watching the herds of cows and babies. When crossing the r...

• A Great Wolf Sighting

  I know it's been awhile, but I had a few work emergencies to catch up on. Now I resume with some Yellowstone pics from our spring trip. We were hoping to see wolves, as we did during our visit in 2008. However, we had previously seen them only ver...

• Grizzly Bears

  Posted on Sunday May 31st, 2009 at 07:39 in bears, yellowstone, north american wildlife

  Grizzly bears in the distance appeared as tiny dots in the Lamar Valley. We saw a bunch of people on a knoll looking up at Specimen Ridge through scopes; it was a guide who had spotted two mating grizzlies. It was true that through the scope one co...

• Black Bears

  Posted on Saturday May 30th, 2009 at 22:10 in bears, yellowstone, north american wildlife

  Yellowstone is supposed to be good for bear viewing in the spring, and since I've not seen bears up close outside the zoo other than a few fleeting glances while camping or rafting, I was really hoping we'd see some this trip. We did, but at first o...
