A leisurely start to the day after the drive yesterday. Left the house about midday.
Visited Mammoth Springs first and walked around a number of terraces and pools. In the main intersection area there were loads of Bison and calves lying on the grass - tough to stay at least 50 yards from them!
Then drove to Lamar Valley to see some wildlife. On the way we saw loads of Bison and Elk. Also saw a Black Bear close up which was wandering down a stream bed. Then just up the road we saw Big Horn sheep lying by the side of the road - massive horns. Round the corner was a red fox (just changing into summer colours) wandering up the hillside.
We stopped at a pullout where people were staring through massive camera lenses at Ospreys nesting in a tree across the river. Also looked through powerful monoculars a bit further on at a Grizzly Bear in the distance.
Also saw a Crane and a fair few pronghorn antelope. We saw a few more Black Bear in the distance behind trees.
Got back around 6pm - tired but pleased with seeing a lot of wildlife.
