Re: Shots from my May trip

Rik, Once again, you have captured the essence of Yellowstone wildlife that just amazes us. What terrific Photos! I love them all, but the one of the Obsidian cub resting its paws (and claws!) on its mother's back is my favorite, if I had to pick one. But I don't so I will just continue to enjoy th...

I had to leave the park about 1PM to get to Bozeman. Spent the half-day in Canyon-Hayden-Bridge Bay-Mary Bay. Saw nothing. Trip over.

Re: Trip Report May 15

Yellowstone has not been particularly crowded. It was getting busier every day though.

Trip Report May 15

Went out towards the Lamar and passed a work truck that had gone off the road and flipped over somewhere near Blacktail, I think. A ranger was parked nearby, keeping an eye on it, presumably waiting for a wrecker. Was supposed to meet Karen and Bill at Slough at 8:30 so I headed to Silver Gate to ea...

Trip Report May 14

Saw a lot of stuff, couldn't photograph much of it. I was in the Hayden just past Grizzly Overlook at 5:30AM and had two wolves cross the road right in front of my car. Much too dark to take pics. Arrived too late to see them crossing again in daylight by just minutes twice afterward. Got pics of a ...

Spent all day on the carcass at Slough Creek. The same wolf fed on it for an hour in the morning and 45 minutes in the evening. Also got a coyote in the early evening.

Trip Report May 12

Went east this morning, checking for grizzlies and great greys and saw neither. Just before lunch, I got one of the Wapiti Lake pack in the Hayden, but a bit far for pics. Went out to the East Entrance in the afternoon and found a grizzly on a carcass. He was skittish of the traffic and didn't stay ...

Trip Report May 11

Went out to the Lamar early. Got some shots of Junction Butte wolf 1229F coming off a carcass with a big chunk of meat in her mouth before the Wolf Project Stasi shut down the overlooking hill. Also got a bald eagle and a coyote on the carcass. Spent a lot of time at Slough Creek looking for badgers...
