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.

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…
Chubby Squirrel (California)
Paicines, California. This big guy would find an acorn, and then he’d go sit on a stump to eat it. He was, as you can see, extremely fat. (I wonder if the people who were in our site before we were fed him. 😲 🤣) Actually, though, he earned it, because he was hard at…
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…
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.
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.

White-Crowned Sparrow, West Thumb Geyser Basin Boardwalk (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. This white-crowned sparrow was hopping around, so I snagged a few pictures. There’s not much to say about it, but it’s cute. 🙂
Wow! Y’all saw 399?!? Big fan! Have you seen the documentary?
Yep! It’s pretty cool.
