YNP Spring 2009

Over the last few weeks we have revisited the National Park. Even after three years, it's always an amazing experience. Here is a small sampling of the many pictures we always end up with.

A bald eagle who likes to pose at the top of this dead tree.

Happened upon this eagle in another section of the park. The ravens want their share.

This young grizzly has an injured right front paw. The rangers were sure to keep all of us a safe distance away.

This black wolf is stalking some small prey.

He turns to have a look at us.

It's wonderful when the animals who are hard to see in the park, cross the road right in front of us and then stop so we can get some shots. This big horn ram is in great shape. In the spring, most of the wildlife looks a little ragged.

If you look carefully, you can see the new trees growing at the bottom of the dead wood left after forest fires.

Great scenery abounds.

Bison are starting to gather in the Lamar Valley, where they spend the summer.
