The Grizzlies usually take the majority of the attention while in the Grand Tetons, but Black Bears are just as nice to see.

It was exactly a year ago today that I took these videos of these very young Bighorn Sheep – or as I like to call them, Little Bighorns. If you look closely, some of them still have their umbilical cord attached.
I still need to get some better photos of Surf Scoters. They’re weird looking birds with those oversized bills, but I still find them cool. They tend to stay pretty far out in the water, so I’ve found it tough to get any good close…
I’ve seen a few Sandhill Cranes around recently and it reminded me I should share some of the older photos I have of them. These photos are a mix from Hebgen Lake in Montana, and both Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks in Wyoming. And…
One of the geothermal features in Yellowstone (yes, I know I still have yet to share any geyser images), the Mammoth Hot Springs and Terraces area is certainly like being in another world. It is difficult to capture any photos that really encompass the feeling…
As I was planning my trip across the southern USA, I noticed a moderately large green spot on the map between Tucson, AZ (where I was visiting Saguaro NP) and El Paso, TX (where I planned to spend a night before visiting Guadalupe Mountains NP…
This Palm Warbler was nice and cooperative to let me get some good close shots…
Something I was not expecting to see while in Saguaro National Park was raptors. I mean it makes sense once you’re there and see how much wildlife – especially birds – is actually in the park. It is still desert, but it was significantly more…
Somehow I have not yet posted any photos from my stop in Badlands NP? To be honest, my time there was a bit less than I had hoped it would be. After adjusting my time in Yellowstone and hitting Grand Tetons a bit earlier, I…
On my way to Yellowstone NP, I stopped in a small area north of Hebgen Lake – my car’s GPS really wanted me to take a different route, but I decided that this road looked more promising and I was not disappointed. I actually returned…
Sorry – I am being extremely lazy about processing new photos, so you’ll have to make do with some more from the archives. Today we’ll look at some shots of some Yellow-bellied Marmots (Marmota flaviventris) taken on a hike at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton…
It isn’t often that birds swim *towards* you, but this Common Murre decided to swim over and take a closer look at my GoPro…
While in Playa, we did a tour of mangroves of Sian Ka’an biosphere preserve. We saw several ospreys including a couple on their nests… and if you look really closely, you’ll see a baby in a couple of the photos. Our guide told us it…
When we first saw these wandering around Mexico, we thought they were capybaras, but apparently they are a different rodent called Agouti. They were about the size of a small dog (well, considering we were in Mexico – the land of chihuahua, they would be…
Ok – this officially wraps up the last of my Madagascar photos… (unless I manage to go back)
