Hi All,
It was a typical Thursday with laundry, lunch in Jackson, Internet and shopping.
We experienced some delays getting the laundry ready!
Hi All,
We had a fabulous day today and we saw a diversity of animals.
Hi All,
This morning we had a moose jam that had an interesting twist. This female moose who usually spends her time in the pond walked up to and across the road. We had to stop traffic in both directions as she munched on the bushes along the road.
Hi All,
We spent much of today following a black bear in the Jenny Lake area. When the bear walked into the campground, we alerted the campground staff and "hazed" the bear out of the campground.
Fortunately, this bear ignored people and went on his way,
Hi All,
We slept late, had brunch and spent time on the Internet at the campground office. After lunch we sat out in the sun reading. By supper we had yet to leave the campground.
After dinner we went looking for wildlife. Two miles from the campground we came to a big crowd (56 people) looking into the river at this beautiful bull moose.
Hi All,
The early day was a typical Thursday with laundry, shopping, Internet and for Carl, a haircut.
In the evening we went to another wildlife research presentation with Betty & Walt. This week's topic was Mountain Lions and it was fascinating. New technology has allowed accurate, real time tracking of collared animals. This was followed up by placing video cameras at locations the lions frequent.
The resulting video footage was amazing and it revealed behaviors never before seen and contrary to most beliefs based on indirect study.
Some of the behaviors reminded us of Ginger!
On the way home, we stopped at Jenny Lake Overlook and found this great view.
Hi All,
Our "back country day" was short on hiking and long on moose sitting. Even though we are not officially on patrol, we try to help out when we hear about a jam.
Shortly after leaving the campground we came upon this herd of bison crossing the ridge.
