Lone Bison
There lots of them....as you'll see.
Bison at 45 degrees
Bison up close
Bison even closer
Bison - even closer!!
Don't worry - we were far enough away thanks to the lens.
Field of Bison
We went into a field to get a picture of a wolf (which was a black dot). Bison started coming into the field.
Bison stream crossing
This was after being the field of Bison, we saw a group crossing a small stream.
Solo Bison
Across from the field of Bison, this guy was making his way down the hill....
Mountain shot from Lamar Valley
Not really a mountain, but a pretty big peak alongside the road
Bison surrouding us
In the field, they started getting pretty close...no issues though.
Bison checking us out
So...we did not approach them. We were standing far away and they came towards us!!!
Pronghorn Sheep
Driving back after Bison-palooza, we saw these guys in the distance..similar to ones we saw coming out of Badlands
Pringhorn close up
Thanks to the teleconverter!!
More pronghorn
Osprey
We came across a tour guide showing his group this nest - got a decent shot...
Mammoth Hot Spring
After Lamar, we were heading west and stopped at Mammoth springs. We snoozed for a bit then dove into the tourist trap scene of Mammoth springs. It was a "ok" - here's the thermal pool - there were others but did not get good shots.
Mammoth Hot Springs
More of the surrounding landscape - the ground is all steaming.
Elk
Heading back to Gardiner, near the exit, we caught this guy wandering by the side of the road....
The Elk again...huge.
Yellowstone
Yeah!!!
A common site...
They're getting closer!!!
