It's been awhile since I posted so thought I'd share some of my favorite pics and videos from trips to Yellowstone Park this year. Unfortunately, I don't do photobucket anymore so I have to link the pics and videos from my facebook account. You can look at them even if you're not on facebook. Sorry for the hassle.
Mountain Goats on Beartooth Pass (July 2 & 4, 2019). I usually see goats on the pass maybe every 3-4th time I go over but this is the first time they were right next to the road. There were 3 different groups in the area with a total of close to 50 including lots of babies. It was fun spending time watching them.

The above grizzly family running to the carcass. About halfway to the carcass the sow stood up and looked around. At first we thought she turned around because she saw the line of people by the road watching but after talking to people that had been there in the morning, I think she got a whiff of the wolves that had been there and it spooked her. Over the course of two days she had fed on the carcass three times and the crowds hadn't bothered her. That morning, four wolves came in and harassed the bears. I saw a video of it and it was pretty intense. A boar grizzly also came in and chased the sow off at one point so I think she was anxious.

The next morning we got to the carcass site just as the family left. We pulled over at the end of a dirt pullout and I got this video as they ran across the road right behind us. (July 4, 2019)

Long but fun video of sandhill crane parents and two babies as they go to their nest for the night. I never knew that the babies slept under the wings of the parents. (June 13, 2019)
