Lamar Valley

Hi All,

We were out for almost 12 hours and spent most of the time driving through the prime wildlife viewing area of Lamar Valley. 

In spite of the rain and fog, we saw:

8 grizzly bears including several cubs, 1 black bear, 1 moose, 1 mule deer, 24+ pronghorn antelope, 9 mountain goats, 24+ elk, 300+ bison, 1 marmot and dozens of indecisive squirrels trying to cross the roads.

The baby bison are at most a few weeks old.




This bull moose was just beginning to grow out his antlers

Here is one of four young mountain goats we saw along with adults.

It is not often you get to look down on an osprey near.

This young black bear caused the kind of traffic jam we will need to deal with when we start volunteering on Grand Teton next month.
With the exception of Africa, this was our best wildlife viewing day ever.

Love,
