It had been a while since we went to Grand Teton National Park. Renita had been watching Facebook and had noticed pictures of Black and Grizzly Bears. One even was taken of the dominant male grizzly bear nicknamed Bruno.
Since we photographed him in April, he has had a fight or two and has had chunks taken out of his face, (not my pic so I can’t use it here). Arriving at the park we got our cameras out and drove our usual search patten, but did not see any bears.
Cow Elk were visible near the South Yellowstone Entrance, and a large buffalo herd, with red dogs was at it usual place near the Moran Junction.
The park was crowded as you would expect on Tuesday after Memorial Day.
Renita spotted a Blad Eagle sitting on a nest, but it was so far away we could only see it’s head.
At the Sawmill Pond, we were rewarded with a Red-Tailed Hawk, glaring at us from its tree perch.
No moose, no bears but we did see a herd of life size Asian Elephants,just to the north of the National Wildlife Museum.
The elephants are part of a traveling exhibit, and all are up for sale. They were constructed from a nasty invasive species weed in India. We talked about buying one but our place in Star Valley is too small. Guess we will just decorate it wilh more rocks…..
Clear skies
ps the opening photo is of a plant named Arrohead Leaf Balsom Root
