RHH's photos with the keyword: national prk

These photos are all of animals we've seen coming into Yellowstone National Park from the east over Cody and through Sylvan Pass. Some of the photos were taken just outside the park, as was this, but all the animals can also be seen within the park boundaries and many of them wander freely in and out of the park, sometimes bringing about confrontations with those who live near the park. This wolf is the only one I've ever had opportunity to photograph though many of the other animals are seen near the roads and in the public areas of the park.

This Grizzly Bear sow was photographed near Yellowstone Lake in September. She was digging for roots and grubs and would soon be hibernating. She paid no attention to the people had stopped to watch here, though many were out of their vehicles and far too close, in my opinion.

This Bison was photographed near Yellowstone Lake along the east entrance road. I've not been able to identify the bird perched on its back.

These elk were wintering in the fields just outside Yellowstone National Park when we saw them. It is spring, so the males have dropped their antlers and many of the cows are pregnant.

This Mule Deer (note the long ears) was photographed on a spring morning just outside of Yellowstone National Park as we drove into the park via the east entrance road.

This Coyote was photographed as we traveled to Yellowstone National Park from the east. We've seen them in the park but this one was nearby. They are very common animals in the west.
