More Wildlife in Yellowstone

Another trip into the National Park. One never knows what wonders await around the next bend.

Wildflowers near Dunraven Pass


A lone trumpeter swan on floating Island Lake


We usually see them in pairs. We wonder what happened to it's mate.


We saw another cinnamon black bear this day. Like the last one we saw, it was eating wildflowers.


The bear would push the flower stalks down with it's front paw so it could eat the flowers.

Sawtell Peak 2008

This year we visited Sawtell Peak with friends George and Gail. It was a wonderful day. For additional scenes visit last year's post.

Our truck at the top with the Grand Tetons in the background.


Scene from the top. We had a 360 degree view.


Female mountain bluebird.


This is the male of the pair.
We saw them entering a small hole in the side of one of the buildings, where they had a nest.
