Grand Teton National Park, July 4, 2025....Update No. 4

 


While on the Uhl Hill Road we observed a herd of bison moving across our path. We pulled over to better observe them when a small number broke into a run...


There was no obvious reason for the "stampede", they just seemed to be in the mood for a faster pace...


Next, we explored the Bridger Teton National Forest where we found a black bear just ambling about near the road...




A little farther along we spotted a ruffed grouse on a log...


In a small patch of willows was a male white crowned sparrow...


Just after leaving one willow patch,


we surprised two young bull elk...


Next, we heard the singing of a green-tailed towhee...



Some of these roads are deeply rutted and the ruts can hold water, drawing birds like this killdeer...





Heading back to the campground, Cheryl captured some landscapes and sunsets...






This gigantic flag was suspended from the new bridge being constructed over the Yellowstone River. It seems appropriate for today. Happy Independence Day!


Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
