Wild, Wild, Wildlife at YNP

The wildlife at Yellowstone National Park is as good as it gets in our national parks. The shots below were taken in a span of just one year including winter. Probably why I voted YNP as the best national park.

Christmas in Yellowstone Video +

I’ve always liked this PBS documentary. Reminds me of my 2 winter seasons working in Yellowstone. It’s a great place to visit in the winter. Here’s some photos I took of this Red Fox mousing plus the PBS program which has footage of a Red Fox doing its thing.

The Howling Coyote

I was about 50 feet from this coyote at Yellowstone National Park when this one let out a sound that is still ringing in my ears . I just wish I was recording the sound. I don’t think the coyote knew I was so close.

“Howling is a basic communication behavior in coyotes,” says Gary San Julian, a Penn State University professor of wildlife resources. “It has several functions. One is to call the pack—really a family group—back together again after a period of individual hunting. A second reason that coyotes howl is to advertise their presence to other packs, essentially warning those other family groups against trespassing across territorial boundaries.”
