One of my favorite times in Yellowstone was on a miserably
wet snowy day when we hiked up to a small group of Big Horn rams we'd seen
from the road the previous afternoon.
Framed against the blue shadows of a distant hillside, this bull
elk's antlers gleamed in the late afternoon light.
Coyotes leap high in the air to land, feet first, upon
unsuspecting rodents in a behavior known as mousing. This behavior is a
not uncommon sight in fall Yellowstone, when many coyotes are fairly tame
from a summers-worth of exposure to tourists.
We've filmed a number of great gray owls, the largest
owl in North America, on our Yellowstone tours.
Trumpeter swans were once a very endangered species, but
their population has rebounded nicely. In Yellowstone, some swans are incredibly
tame. This swan swam directly up to my wide angle lens!
