Every visit these last few years, I have made a tradition of parking my rental in one of the pullouts in Little America and taking a hike off-road. I don't usually see anything, but I enjoy the solitude. This time I walked out to a couple of ponds on the west side of the road and I happened to find ...

Saw this little guy near the trailhead in Little America near the Lamar River Bridge. https://pbase.com/rikwriter/image/169271035.jpg https://pbase.com/rikwriter/image/169271050.jpg https://pbase.com/rikwriter/image/169271044.jpg https://pbase.com/rikwriter/image/169271049.jpg https://pbase.com/rikw...

Great grey owl at Bridge Bay.

Wow, you were luckier than I was with the fox. I went there over and over looking for it and saw nothing.

I had to leave the park early to get to Bozeman and take care of a few things because my flight leaves very early. I had stayed at Bridge Bay last night so I checked for the owl first (and then again, and again) but no luck. Nothing going on in the Hayden...at least not that you could see with all t...

Spent the morning in the Lamar Valley and didn't see much.
Took a hike in Little America and photographed a muskrat in a pond.
Then I abandoned that side of the park and headed east and got Snow at Steamboat Point.

I started the day at 5:30 watching the great grey owl hunt. I got some nice, close-up perched shots, but it was 5:45 and cloudy so they were at ISO 16,000 or some such thing. Went from there out to the Lamar Valley and started slow. Didn't see much close enough to photograph, though I did watch a gr...

Another great day. I saw four different grizzly bears and I saw a big boar chasing Snow down the hillside at Steamboat point. I also saw a long-tailed weasel with a vole in its mouth run across the road at Lake Lodge but I did not get a picture.
