Yellowstone Wildlife


Yellowstone is famous for its wildlife ... well, and also for its thermal features ... and for its waterfalls.  Well, its famous for a lot of things, but one is its wildlife.  We have seen a lot of interesting critters during our 2 1/2 weeks in the park.  We even got a few nice photos of some.  Unfortunately, while we saw some black bears, we didn't see a grizzly.  And we never saw a wolf.

So here is a post showing off some of my favorite wildlife photos.

Enjoy.

Uinta (ground squirrel).  This was Matilda's favorite wildlife.

"You can't see me!"

"Dorcas! Keep your eyes on the road!"

These guys posed perfectly

I think I violated Rule #5 in previous post!

Black bear says "Hello"

Black bear says "Yum!" as he munches the clover.

Black bear says "Bye bye"

Coyote on the prowl

Apparently he's not in the mood for swans this morning

"I see you too!"

The ground squirrel got away.  Dang!





Elk hanging out at Mammoth Hot Springs

Look carefully, there is a bull moose hiding in the shadows.

Mule deer

White pelicans

Great photography. Too many bison shots, Myron. You must have a new camera.

I bought a new Nikon DSLR two years ago before we went to Alaska. I did buy a new 300mm zoom this spring and that helps with wildlife shots. I remember way back, when I would carry 10 rolls of Kodachrome for a two-week trip. Now I take that many shots in a day! Digital is cheap!!!!
