Obsidian is out as well, with three COY.

Thanks Rik! That's good to know. Will be looking out for them.

Thank you for the trip report Bill! Especially about the news on the Beryl Springs sow and her COYS!

Thank...

Great photos! Some neat face shots. Also enjoyed the Obsidian sow photos. Thanks for sharing! Thank you for your kind words Dorothy! Thank you for posting the pictures of this brute. You certainly have a great lens to get such detailed shots! I never cease to be amazed by the length of grizzly claw...

We've been to the park for many years, and typically we've only seen sows near the main park roads. Usually boars don't come near the roads unless it is mating season and a sow is present. This year we saw this lone boar hanging out near the road, a little north of Roaring Mountain, initially with n...

Beautiful colors on sunny day! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks mdtrot, my pleasure.

A few images of the Obsidian Creek sow. All images were taken on the same afternoon. A boar was in the area at the time and they grazed together for awhile. The boar had been in the area previously. This was the first (and only) time we saw Obsidian on this particular trip. Please feel free to comme...
