Grizzly 399! (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. Grizzly 399! Blurry picture, furry bear. This was super cool, especially noting the fact that she got hit by a car and died only four months later.

Bighorn Sheep (Wyoming)
National Elk Refuge, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. These guys weren’t exactly cute, and they also weren’t the type of bighorn sheep we were used to seeing. I actually thought they were Dall’s sheep at first, haha. 😏 But when we went home, I looked in a field guide and discovered that no, they weren’t Dall’s sheep….
Feisty Frizzle (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. Since we were spending the whole summer in Grant Village, we decided to name the local elk (although, to be honest, there was technically no way to tell if an elk was a different one or not). We came up with Feisty Frizzle. (The “feisty” part came from her charging a dude…
Big Bison on the Road (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. This dude was clopping down the road. Bison commonly cause traffic jams in YNP. It’s worth it the first few times, but if you’re there a whole summer, you’ll know what I mean by “boring”. 😛 The proud guys think they own the roads. And everything else.
Deer Fawn (California)
Paicines, California. This cute little baby deer showed up with its mama almost every day to graze and–believe it or not–slurp up water from a dripping faucet! (There was a creek nearby. 😏🤣)
Snake on Sea Lion Caves Pathway (Oregon)
Florence, Oregon. We were walking down the Sea Lion Caves Pathway in high hopes of seeing sea lions gathered by the hundreds in the sea caves. The pathway was just basically a sidewalk, one side being a drop-off into the Pacific Ocean, and the other being a steep but short bank. That’s where we saw…
Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel, Lassen Volcanic National Park (California)
Lassen Volcanic National Park. Obviously. This cute little guy watched us for a while, and we sure watched him. It was so neat to see this new species! What’s your favorite type of squirrel? There are over two hundred different types, so choose well!
Wow! Y’all saw 399?!? Big fan! Have you seen the documentary?
Yep! It’s pretty cool.
