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.

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. 😏🤣)
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….
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…
Huge Bison, Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. This big ol’ bison was slurping up muddy, seeping thermal water. Each time after doing that, he would lick his nostrils. You would be alarmed at how deep the tongue went into the nostril. He also had a tendency to yawn.
Baby Elk and Its Mama (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. This little (or big) cutie pie was right outside our site in Grant Village, so I ran out and took a few pictures. I made sure to stay on the other side of the road—who knew?—it might be Feisty Frizzle and her baby! (See Feisty Frizzle, Critter Sightings.) The mama seemed a…
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.
Wow! Y’all saw 399?!? Big fan! Have you seen the documentary?
Yep! It’s pretty cool.
