Winter Wildlife Jam

Hi All,

Wildlife jams in and around Grand Teton are not limited to summer. A mountain lion has cached a deer carcass on the slopes of a butte in downtown Jackson. The cougar predictably drew a big crowd of photographers.


After hours resting under a juniper tree the cat would rush down the hill to scare the crows and magpies off the carcass.

This has been going on for almost a week with hundreds of locals and visitors getting great views of this magnificent animal.
Not likely to still be there in May when we get back☹️.

Love,

Wakadohatchee Wetland

Hi All,

Monday we drove to Delray Beach to visit Roberta and Elliot. In the evening Judy and Jerry hosted a wonderful pot luck so we got to see all of our Massachusetts snowbird friends.

Tuesday morning we visited the Wakadohatchee wetlands where the birds are beginning to nest. Wood storks are gathering 

and great egrets are developing breeding plumage.

The bright green lores are starting to show.

Visitors are always excited to see alligators 

especially up close!

Common Gallinules have bills that look a lot like Halloween candy.

This bright green iguana stopped boardwalk traffic for a while.

This place never disappoints.

Love,
