Brown bear, Brown bear, what do you see?

I see a lot of people looking at me! Yeah, baby! We caught our bear. We saw a grizzly on the way back from the last posting (you can tell by all the cars on the side of the road). So when you click on the pic, zoom in. He is so cute! Then, the day before yesterday, we went to a place called Tower Fall (we heard that's the best place to see black bear) and we were rewarded with 2 sightings:  one mama and her baby, and the other a male on his own on the hillside. Too cool!

We have sinced changed sites. We were at Grant Village. Yesterday was "moving day." We moved to Bridge Bay. This is a great site. We are away from the "squatter's camp" (what you see when you first drive in. There is no coverage of trees and everyone "squats" there). We have a real nice wooded site where we backed into. The nice part about this site is that it cuts out 30minutes of our commute to Hayden Valley--- a "hotspot" for bear and wolves. Supposedly there is a pack there. We've seen the male and female. Have yet to see the pups. The day of the last post, there was some action after 5PM when they went on a hunt. We only saw pictures, but wow!

We are still looking for Big Horn sheep; that is up on the mountain. But the day of the black bear sighting, we saw a mountain goat and her baby. You will have to Google images for that because they were too far away to get a pic; and we didn't bring our National Geographic super-high-powered lens. Oh well.

The last pics are of a swift fox we saw on the side of the road, and of course, the sunrise over the lake. We are at 7700feet of elevation, but that is the view most mornings (when there is no fog).

Enjoy!
