GRAND TETON N.P... Third Update

 Visiting any national park can provide a chance to see some unusual camping rigs like the one shown below...


Grand Teton offers more than just the large animals that everyone gets excited about. When the bears, bison and moose are not visible we like to find a quiet spot to view birds or other smaller critters. We found this red-winged blackbird just below the Jackson Lake dam...


There must have been an insect hatch going on because the bird activity was fast and furious. A number of brewer's blackbirds were eating as many as thy could catch...





While the male brewer's blackbirds alternated between catching bugs and displaying for the females...



The Wyoming Ground Squirrels came out of hiding to catch some for themselves...



We also watched a beaver fill its mouth with grass to take to a lodge nearby...


A Canada goose sat serenely on her nest at the same location...


 Later we checked an area on the Wilderness Road in the Bridget-Teton National Forest. We saw western tanagers flying about...





A drive-up Signal Mountain produced a dusky grouse sighting...



Towards evening we found a spot overlooking Willow Flats, a well-known grizzly area during the elk calving season. Instead of a grizzly we saw a coyote...




Earlier, we did spot two grizzlies prowling about in the willows looking for young elk.



There will be more to come soon. In the meantime, thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
