Two ships in the night. It was interesting to watch how calmly this Sandhill Crane and coyote passed by each other at the Blacktail Ponds last April. The coyote had found a morsel from an old carcass which she still had in her mouth.

The tiny hunter. An ermine in white phase in Yellowstone in late October. If you zoom in you can see chipmunk blood on his feet from a chipmunk he had just killed and cached in one of his burrows below where he’s now standing.

Our version of Elf on a Shelf: Porcupine in a pine tree. Porcupines are rarely seen in the GYE (at least for me). I was excited to see this young porcupine in a conifer at dusk. July 2025 in the Beartooth Mountains.

A Wapati wolf pack member at dusk. Hayden Valley, October 16th 2025. I haven’t seen the Wapati pack since the park roads closed on October 31. They sometimes will come up here to the Northern Range in the winter. I hope to see them again before April when the roads reopen.

So this is an incredible grizzly mom. She adopted the 2 year old cub (the one licking her face in this photo) and the smaller 1 year old cub is her own cub. From May 2025 in Round Prairie, Yellowstone.

With more snow hitting here in Yellowstone over the next few days, I look forward to seeing Red Foxes hunting for rodents in the snow. This photo is from March 2025 in the Northern Range of Yellowstone.

Tourists were laughing at me when they stopped their cars to ask what I was waiting for in Hayden Valley and I told them an ermine. They don’t understand how much harder it is to see an ermine than wolves or grizzlies when you live here in the GYE (Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem). I waited for multiple hours over a 2 day period to capture this photo of the elusive ermine in its white winter coat.
