We spent most of today in the Lamar Valley looking for wolves. 926 was in her den and I think there will be good news about her but I want Deby to tell you about them.
Because I never turned my camera on today I wanted to show you some of the animals we’ve seen in the last few days.
This is the Beryl Springs sow you’ve seen before. She spends most of her time on the east side of the Gibbon River near Beryl Springs and there are a lot of trees between us and this bear. Because of that I spend a lot of time moving my camera equipment up and down the river. But she and her cub are too cute to pass up.
This coyote was mousing along the banks of the Gibbon River in Gibbon Meadows. It is a little hard to tell but she was really fat. It looked like she would have pups any minute.
This pronghorn was near Little America. It seems like there are more pronghorn here now.
Beautiful photos, Judy. I suppose that to be a really good photographer in Yellowstone, you have to be tough. I always enjoy your photos and your info on them.
Thank you Kitty. To be a photographer that does filming I guess you have to be tough or stupid. My camera with a 80 – 400 lens on it weighs 25 pounds and my tripod weights 20 pounds. I can carry them but I can’t carry them anywhere fast. I’ve missed a lot of great shots over the years.
Great images Judy. I don’t know how you lug that camera around – you are tough.
Slowly is how I do it Deby
Deny, recently you have made frequent reference to “the radio” for receiving updates to activity. Could you provide to me information or direct me to a site that gives info about the type of radio and frequencies to monitor.
There always seems to be uncertainty about catalog and digital radios.
Many Thanks
Tom
Tom, Judy wrote this post.
But, there is a “Rick” radio that is FCC regulated and that people can purchase on their own, which is used by the wolf watchers. Used to be only certain people could have a radio but now anyone can because they have determined that wolf watching is not an exclusive club sort of thing.
Love your pictures. The sow looks very impressive. And I almost can’t believe how sharp your pronghorn portrait is.
Thank you Isle! My husband took the pronghorn photo. The photos that are my own are always soft because they are screen grabs from a cinema movie camera not a video camera. Cinema cameras are designed to be soft to give that “film look.”
